Anisotropic three-dimensional MHD turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Direct spectral method simulation of the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations is used to explore anisotropy that develops from initially isotropic fluctuations as a consequence of a uniform applied magnetic field.

On the Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability in Magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is important in a wide variety of applications including inertial confinement fusion and astrophysical phenomena. In some of these applications, the fluids involved may be plasmas and hence be affected by magnetic fields.

Finite-time singularity formation at a magnetic neutral line in Hall magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The formation of a current sheet in a weakly collisional plasma can be modelled as a finite-time singularity solution of magnetohydrodynamic equations.

Properties of mass-loading shocks, 2. Magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics of shocked flows subjected to significant mass loading are considered. Recent observations at comets Giacobini-Zinner and Halley suggest that simple nonreacting MHD is an inappropriate description for active ...

Kinetic helicity and MHD turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The issue of dynamical anisotropy in helical three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with a mean magnetic field B₀ is investigated. Using high-resolution direct numerical simulations, we follow the evolution of various isotropic initial states ...

Smagorinsky constant in LES modeling of anisotropic MHD turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Turbulent fluctuations in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows can become strongly anisotropic or even quasi-2D under the action of an applied magnetic field. We investigate this phenomenon in the case of low magnetic Reynolds numbers.

The influence of a mean magnetic field on three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Building on results from two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence (Shebalin, Matthaeus & Montgomery 1983), the development of anisotropic states from initially isotropic ones is investigated numerically for fully three-dimensional ...

Meromorphy and topology of localized solutions in the Thomas–MHD model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The one-dimensional MHD system first introduced by J.H. Thomas [Phys. Fluids 11, 1245 (1968)] as a model of the dynamo effect is thoroughly studied in the limit of large magnetic Prandtl number.
