Reconnection-controlled decay of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and the role of invariants
We present a new theoretical picture of magnetically dominated, decaying turbulence in the absence of a mean magnetic field. With direct numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the rate of turbulent decay is governed by the reconnection of magnetic structures, and not necessarily by ideal dynamic...
