摘要:

在具有非零交叉螺旋度的强不可压MHD湍流中,叶栅功率的不同结果出现在文献中。在本文中,我们讨论了这些不同的结果是有效的条件。我们定义z+为平行于背景磁场传播的阿尔芬波的均方根振幅,z-为反平行于背景磁场传播的阿尔芬波的均方根振幅。非零交叉螺旋度意味着z+和z-不同,我们取z-小于z+。我们发现产生z-涨落的机制强烈地影响级联功率,因为它控制了外尺度上相反方向的波包之间相互作用的相干时间。特别是,对于z+和z-的固定值,在许多情况下,当z-波动由z+波动的反射产生时,级联功率比当z-波动由与z+波动仅弱相关的强迫产生时更大。波动。

英文摘要:

Different results for the cascade power in strong, incompressible MHD turbulence with nonzero cross helicity appear in the literature. In this paper, we discuss the conditions under which these different results are valid. We define z+ to be the rms amplitude of Alfven waves propagating parallel to the background magnetic field, and z- to be the rms amplitude of Alfven waves propagating anti-parallel to the background magnetic field. Nonzero cross helicity implies that z+ and z- differ, and we take z- to be less than z+. We find that the mechanism that generates the z- fluctuations strongly affects the cascade power, because it controls the coherence time for interactions between oppositely directed wave packets at the outer scale. In particular, for fixed values of z+ and z-, the cascade power is in many cases larger when the z- fluctuations are generated by the reflection of z+ fluctuations than when the z- fluctuations are generated by forcing that is only weakly correlated with the z+ fluctuations.
