Growth of Magnetic Fields Induced by Turbulent Motions
J. Cho, E. Vishniac, A. Beresnyak +2
We present numerical simulations of driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with weak/moderate imposed magnetic fields. The main goal is to clarify dynamics of magnetic field g…
MHD Turbulent Mixing Layers: Equilibrium Cooling Models
A. Esquivel, R. A. Benjamin, A. Lazarian +2
We present models of turbulent mixing at the boundaries between hot (T~10^{6-7} K) and warm material (T~10^4 K) in the interstellar medium, using a three-dimensional magnetohydrody…
Grain Alignment by Radiation in Dark Clouds and Cores
J. Cho, A. Lazarian
We study alignment of grains by radiative torques. We found steep rise of radiative torque efficiency as grain size increases. This allows larger grains that are known to exist wit…
Density scaling and anisotropy in supersonic MHD turbulence
A. Beresnyak, A. Lazarian, J. Cho
We study the statistics of density for supersonic turbulence in a medium with magnetic pressure larger than the gaseous pressure. This study is motivated by molecular cloud researc…
Scaling, Intermittency and Decay of MHD Turbulence
A. Lazarian, J. Cho
We discuss a few recent developments that are important for understanding of MHD turbulence. First, MHD turbulence is not so messy as it is usually believed. In fact, the notion of…
Thermal Conduction in Magnetized Turbulent Gas
J. Cho, A. Lazarian, A. Honein +3
Using numerical methods, we systematically study in the framework of ideal MHD the effect of magnetic fields on heat transfer within a turbulent gas. We measure the rates of passiv…
