Abstract:

A homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid in the presence of a strong magnetic field is considered. At a certain relationship between the magnetic Reynolds number Rm and the criterion D the ratio of magnetic energy to kinetic turbulence is described with a good degree of accuracy by a closed system of equations relative to the correlation moments of the second order. A solution is constructed for this system of equations and its asymptotic behavior is investigated. The overwhelming influence of the magnetic viscosity leading to a rapid degeneration of turbulence is revealed. Results are given for the case of an anisotropic conducting plasma. Author
