Magnetic Pressure-Density Correlation in Compressible MHD Turbulence
Thierry Passot, Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni
We discuss magnetic pressure and density fluctuations in strongly turbulent isothermal MHD flows in "1+2/3" dimensions. We first consider "simple" nonlinear MHD waves, which allow…

Thermal Instability and Magnetic Pressure in the Turbulent ISM
Enrique Vazquez-Semadeni, Adriana Gazol, Thierry Passot +1
We review recent results on the nonlinear development of thermal instability in the context of the turbulent atomic interstellar medium (ISM). First, we pre- sent a brief summary o…
