Time decorrelation in isotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Time decorrelation in isotropic incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is studied using three-dimensional numerical simulation. Eulerian and wavenumber-dependent correlation functions are obtained. Scaling with wavenumber separates effects of nonlinear distortion and effects of random s...
