Dissipation in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Dissipation in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
We report results of a three dimensional, high resolution (up to 512^3) numerical investigation of supersonic compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We consider both forced and decaying turbulence. The model parameters are appropriate to conditions found in Galactic molecular clouds. We find that the dissipation time of turbulence is of order the …
