New Regime of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Cascade below the Viscous Cutoff
Abstract
In astrophysical situations, e.g., in the interstellar medium (ISM), neutrals can provide viscous damping on scales much larger than the magnetic diffusion scale. Through numerical simulations, we have found that the magnetic field can have a rich structure below the dissipation cutoff scale. This implies that magnetic fields in the ISM can have structures on scales much smaller than parsec scales. Our results show that the magnetic energy …
