Numerical modeling of steady state MHD turbulence
ORAL
Abstract
An effective numerical setting for simulating universal regimes of steady state MHD turbulence is presented. We show by means of high resolution numerical simulations that this setting allows one to investigate the most important features of weak and strong MHD turbulence, such as anisotropy, energy spectra, critical balance, dynamic alignment and the role of cross helicity. The relevance of the results to Solar Wind and Interstellar Medium (ISM) turbulence is discussed.
