Rapid directional alignment of velocity and magnetic field in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
W. H. Matthaeus, A. Pouquet, P. D. Mininni +2
We show that local directional alignment of the velocity and magnetic field fluctuations occurs rapidly in magnetohydrodynamics for a variety of parameters. This is observed both i…
Nonlinear behavior of a non-helical dynamo
P. D. Mininni, Y. Ponty, D. C. Montgomery +3
A three-dimensional numerical computation of magnetohydrodynamic dynamo behavior is described. The dynamo is mechanically forced with a driving term of the Taylor-Green type. The m…
Topological changes of the photospheric magnetic field inside active regions: a prelude to flares
L. Sorriso-Valvo, V. Carbone, V. Abramenko +5
The observations of magnetic field variations as a signature of flaring activity is one of the main goal in solar physics. Some efforts in the past give apparently no unambiguous o…
MHD Turbulence, Cloud Formation and Star Formation in the ISM
E. Vazquez-Semadeni, T. Passot, A. Pouquet
We discuss the role of turbulence in cloud and star formation, as observed in numerical simulations of the interstellar medium. Turbulent compression at the interfaces of colliding…
