High Reynolds number magnetohydrodynamic turbulence using a Lagrangian model

J. Pietarila Graham, P. D. Mininni, A. Pouquet

摘要:

借助先前测试的磁流体动力学(MHD)湍流模型,我们在没有强迫和没有施加均匀磁场的情况下,探索了高达6000^3网格点的等效分辨率的高雷诺数区域。对于这里选择的给定初始条件,具有相等的动能和磁能,流动最终由磁场主导,并且动力学导致各向同性的Iroshnikov-Kraichnan能谱。然而,垂直于局部平均场的局部各向异性磁场波动遵循柯尔莫哥洛夫定律。我们发现,与所谓的临界平衡假设相反,涡流周转时间的阿尔芬时间的比值随波数的增加。剩余能量和螺旋度谱也被认为是由磁螺旋度的保守所发挥的作用进行了研究,并发现磁螺旋度和剩余螺旋度谱的标度律。我们把这些结果的上下文中的动力学的全局各向同性MHD流是局部各向异性的,因为强大的大尺度磁场的影响,导致部分平衡之间的动能和磁模式的能量和螺旋度。

英文摘要:

With the help of a model of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence tested previously, we explore high Reynolds number regimes up to equivalent resolutions of 6000^3 grid points in the absence of forcing and with no imposed uniform magnetic field. For the given initial condition chosen here, with equal kinetic and magnetic energy, the flow ends up being dominated by the magnetic field, and the dynamics leads to an isotropic Iroshnikov-Kraichnan energy spectrum. However, the locally anisotropic magnetic field fluctuations perpendicular to the local mean field follow a Kolmogorov law. We find that the ratio of the eddy turnover time to the Alfven time increases with wavenumber, contrary to the so-called critical balance hypothesis. Residual energy and helicity spectra are also considered; the role played by the conservation of magnetic helicity is studied, and scaling laws are found for the magnetic helicity and residual helicity spectra. We put these results in the context of the dynamics of a globally isotropic MHD flow which is locally anisotropic because of the influence of the strong large-scale magnetic field, leading to a partial equilibration between kinetic and magnetic modes for the energy and the helicity.
