Critical balance in magnetohydrodynamic, rotating and stratified turbulence: towards a universal scaling conjecture

Abstract:: It is proposed that critical balance a scale-by-scale balance between the linear propagation and nonlinear interaction time scales can be used as a universal scaling conjecture for determining the spectra of strong turbulence in anisotropic wave systems. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), rotating and stratified turbulence are considered under this assumption and, in particular, a novel and experimentally testable energy cascade scenario and a set of scalings of the spectra are proposed for low-Rossb...
