摘要
We perform numerical simulations to characterize the transition from strong to weak magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence for freely decaying incompressible flows in presence of a uniform magnetic field B-0. Due to reduction of energetic transfers along B-0, the flow anisotropy, as measured for example by Shebalin angles, increases together with B-0 intensity. At high B-0, ratios of Alfven to nonlinear turnover timescales stay below unity allowing for an Iroshnikov-Kraichnan description of anisotropic flows.
