Compressible two-dimensional turbulence: cascade reversal and sensitivity to imposed magnetic field

We study the impact of compressibility on two-dimensional turbulent flows, such as those modeling astrophysical disks. We demonstrate that the direction of cascade undergoes continuous transition as the Mach number Ma increases, from inverse at Ma  = 0, to direct at $Ma = \infty$ . Thus, at $Ma \sim...
