Frequency Power Spectra of Global Quantities in Unsteady Magnetoconvection
We present the results of direct numerical simulations of power spectral densities for kinetic energy, convective entropy, and heat flux for unsteady Rayleigh–Bénard magnetoconvection in the frequency space. For larger values of frequency, the power spectral densities for all the global quantities v...

description | We present the results of direct numerical simulations of power spectral densities for kinetic energy, convective entropy, and heat flux for unsteady Rayleigh–Bénard magnetoconvection in the frequency space. For larger values of frequency, the power spectral densities for all the global quantities vary with frequency (<i>f</i>) as <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>f</mi><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>. The scaling exponent is independent of Rayleigh number, Chandrasekhar’s number, and thermal Prandtl number. |
