Imbalanced Strong MHD Turbulence
Imbalanced Strong MHD Turbulence
We present a phenomenological model of imbalanced MHD turbulence in an incompressible magnetofluid. The steady-state cascades, of waves traveling in opposite directions along the mean magnetic field, carry unequal energy fluxes to small length scales, where they decay due to viscous and resistive dissipation. The inertial-range scalings are well-understood when …
