Mach-number-dependent dissipative anomaly in isothermal compressible turbulence

Shadab Alam, Georgy Zinchenko, Christoph Federrath +1

Using a comprehensive set of three-dimensional, high-resolution direct numerical simulations, we investigate the existence of a dissipative anomaly in isothermal, homogeneous, isot…

Transition to dilatation-dominated isothermal compressible turbulence

Shadab Alam, Christoph Federrath, Jörg Schumacher

The kinetic energy dissipation rate is of central importance for small-scale statistics in turbulent flows. Here, we report a transition to the dilatation-dominated regime of three…

Mitigating numerical dissipation in simulations of subsonic turbulent flows

James Watt, Christoph Federrath, Claudius Birke +1

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of subsonic (Mach number~) turbulence are crucial to our understanding of several processes including oceanic and atmospheric flows, the a…

Conservation of magnetic-helicity fluctuations due to spatial decorrelation of fluxes in decaying MHD turbulence

Justin Kin Jun Hew, David N. Hosking, Christoph Federrath +2

Hosking & Schekochihin (2021, Phys. Rev. X 11, 041005) have proposed that statistically isotropic decaying MHD turbulence without net magnetic helicity conserves the mean square fl…

Statistical properties of compressible isothermal turbulence from sub- to supersonic conditions

F. Thiesset, C. Federrath

This paper investigates the statistical properties of isothermal turbulence in both the subsonic and supersonic regimes. The focus is on the influence of the Mach number () and…

Structure of iso-density sets in supersonic isothermal turbulence

Fabien Thiesset, Christoph Federrath

Context: The gas density structure of the cold molecular phase of the interstellar medium is the main controller of star formation. Aims: A theoretical framework is proposed to des…
