An analytical study of the MHD clamshell instability on a sphere
Chen Wang, Andrew D. Gilbert, Joanne Mason
This paper studies the instability of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) systems on a sphere using analytical methods. The underlying flow consists of a zonal differential r…
Critical-layer instability of shallow water magnetohydrodynamic shear flows
Chen Wang, Andrew Gilbert, Joanne Mason
In this paper, the instability of shallow water shear flow with a sheared parallel magnetic field is studied. Waves propagating in such magnetic shear flows encounter critical leve…
Influence of a large-scale field on energy dissipation in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Vladimir Zhdankin, Stanislav Boldyrev, Joanne Mason
In magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, the large-scale magnetic field sets a preferred local direction for the small-scale dynamics, altering the statistics of turbulence from th…
A Model of Plasma Heating by Large-Scale Flow
P. Pongkitiwanichakul, F. Cattaneo, S. Boldyrev +2
In this work we study the process of energy dissipation triggered by a slow large scale motion of a magnetized conducting fluid. Our consideration is motivated by the problem of he…
Comment on the numerical measurements of the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence spectrum by A. Beresnyak (Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 (2011) 075001; MNRAS 422 (2012) 3495; ApJ 784 (2014) L20)
J. C. Perez, J. Mason, S. Boldyrev +1
The inertial-interval energy spectrum of strong magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with a uniform background magnetic field was observed numerically to be close to by…
The statistics of a passive scalar in field-guided magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Joanne Mason, Stanislav Boldyrev, Fausto Cattaneo +1
A variety of studies of magnetised plasma turbulence invoke theories for the advection of a passive scalar by turbulent fluctuations. Examples include modelling the electron densit…
