The development of anisotropy in an initially isotropie spectrum is studied numerically for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The anisotropy develops through the combined effects of an externally imposed d.c. magnetic field and viscous and resistive dissipation at high wavenumbers. The effect is most pronounced at high mechanical and magnetic Reynolds numbers. The anisotropy is greater at…

An elementary but rigorous derivation is given for a variational principle for guiding centre motion. The equations of motion resulting from the variational principle (the drift equations) possess exact conservation laws for phase volume, energy (for time-independent systems), and angular momentum (for azimuthally symmetric systems). The results of carrying the variational principle to higher order…
We derive a weak turbulence formalism for incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Three-wave interactions lead to a system of kinetic equations for the spectral densities of energy and helicity. The kinetic equations conserve energy in all wavevector planes normal to the applied magnetic field B 0 ê ∥ . Numerically and analytically, we find energy spectra E ±…
The stability of circularly polarized waves of finite amplitude propagating parallel to the magnetic field is studied. A set of equations for slowly varying waves of arbitrary amplitude is obtained. A discussion of the stability of the waces is based on this set of equations. Earlier results are confirmed; in addition we find that finite…
The dependence of the asymptotic behaviour of small ion-acoustic waves on the number of resonant electrons is investigated by assuming an electron equation of state corresponding to the observed flat-topped electron distribution functions. The result is a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation with a stronger nonlinearity.
