Simulations of Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Simulations of Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

We simulate incompressible MHD turbulence using a pseudospectral code. Our major conclusions are: (1) MHD turbulence is most conveniently described in terms of counterpropagating shear Alfvén and slow waves. Shear Alfvén waves control the cascade dynamics. Slow waves play a passive role and adopt the spectrum set by the shear …
