Properties of Magnetohydrodynamic Modes in Compressively Driven Plasma Turbulence
We study properties of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) eigenmodes by decomposing the data of MHD simulations into linear MHD modes—namely, the Alfvén, slow magnetosonic, and fast magnetosonic modes. We drive turbulence with a mixture of solenoidal and compressive driving while varying the Alfvén Mach numb...
