Prof. Uriel Frisch17/02/2011, 11:00It is shown that the solutions of inviscid hydrodynamical equations with suppression of all spatial Fourier modes having wavenumbers in excess of a threshold $\kg$ exhibit unexpected features. The study is carried out for both the one-dimensional Burgers equation and the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation. At large $\kg$, for smooth initial conditions, the first symptom of...Go to contribution page

Dr Chi-kwan Chan17/02/2011, 12:00Goldreich & Sridhar (1995) proposed that MHD turbulence is anisotropic. Energy cascades faster in directions that are perpendicular to the background guide field. On one hand, the (global) anisotropic spectrum is verified by numerical simulations when there are strong guide fields. On the other hand, local anisotropy is expected even the MHD turbulence is globally isotropic. We extent...Go to contribution page
