1 Energy transfer in compressible MHD turbulence Philipp Grete Michigan State University in collaboration with Brian O Shea, Kris Beckwith, Wolfram Schmidt and Andrew Christlieb MIPSE Seminar University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Nov 15, 2017 Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
2 Motivation Motivation In many astrophysical systems turbulence compressibility magnetic fields e.g. dynamos, accretion disks, cosmic rays, star formation How do they interact? Study energy transfer [Image credit top: MPIfR and Newcastle University] [Image credit bottom: HST] Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
3 Motivation More on energy transfer Total energy in an ideal MHD system is conserved Individual energy (and scale) budgets are not Different budgets and different interactions Regarding turbulence Energy cascade Inverse transfer Nonlocal transfer [Dynamo image credit: Vainshtein & Zel dovich 72] Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
4 Transfer functions Formal description of energy transfer Nonlinear term in real space, e.g. B(x) (u(x) ) B(x) involves three wave vectors in spectral space, e.g. ( ) B(k) B(q) (u(p) p) that must form a triangle k + q + p = 0 triad interactions Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
5 Transfer functions Interpretation of triad interactions ( ) B(k) B(q) (u(p) p) Field B at scale q gives energy to field B scale k by an interaction of type u Here, magnetic to magnetic via kinetic advection at at scale p Using shells rather than individual modes shell-to-shell transfer Local interactions: wavevectors with similar magnitudes Nonlocal interactions: wavevectors with dissimilar magnitude Locality is an important question in MHD, e.g. background fields Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
6 Transfer functions Energy budgets in incompressible MHD E u (K) = Q w K (u ) w Q advection (kinetic cascade) + w K (v A ) B Q magnetic tension + dx E b (K) = Q B K (u ) B Q advection (magnetic cascade) + B K (v A w Q) magnetic tension + dx Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19

11 Results What can we learn from the transfer functions T XYZ (Q, K)? Cross-scale transfer: Q k K>k T e.g. relevant for subgrid-scale turbulence modeling Total transfer: Q T e.g. relevant for the net effects cf. dynamos Shell-to-shell transfer: T helps to explain everything a lot Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19

14 Results Cross-scale transfer Mean cross-scale flux in the inertial range [Grete+ PoP 2017] Subsonic transfers match results of spectral code [Debliquy+ PoP 2011] Supersonic transfers are more dynamic Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
15 Results Cross-scale transfer Cross-scale transfer versus scales [Grete+ PoP 2017] UUa UUc sum BUT BUP sum M0.5 Enzo M2.5 Enzo Individual fluxes are not constant Fluxes between regimes are similar (shape) vary in magnitude Total flux (all terms) is constant cross-scale flux cross-scale flux wavenumber k wavenumber k Philipp Grete Energy transfer in MHD turbulence Nov / 19
