Helicity Spectra and Dissipation
Both dissipation of helicity and it spectrum we are study on the basis of
asymptotic model. Introduction into model dependence of angle between turbulent
components vorticity and velocity on the governing parameters leads to the
spectra of helicity observed experimentally and obtained by DNS model
computations by various authors. At the same time, it settles the problem of
helicity dissipation divergence with growing Reynolds number
On the escape of low-frequency waves from magnetospheres of neutron stars
We study the nonlinear decay of the fast magnetosonic into the Alfv\'en waves
in relativistic force-free magnetohydrodynamics. The work has been motivated by
models of pulsar radio emission and fast radio bursts (FRBs), in which the
emission is generated in neutron star magnetospheres at conditions when not
only the Larmor but also the plasma frequencies significantly exceed the
radiation frequency. The decay process places limits on the source luminosity
in these models. We estimated the decay rate and showed that the phase volume
of Alfv\'en waves available for the decay of an fms wave is infinite. Therefore
the energy of fms waves could be completely transferred to the small-scale
Alfv\'en waves not via a cascade, as in the Kolmogorov turbulence, but
directly. Our results explain the anomalously low radio efficiency of the Crab
pulsar and show that FRBs could not be produced well within magnetar
magnetospheres.Comment: ApJ, in pres
Large- and small-scale turbulent spectra in MHD and atmospheric flows
In the present review we discuss certain studies of large- and small-scale turbulent spectra in MHD and atmospheric flows performed by S. S. Moiseev and his co-authors during the last years of his life and continued by his co-authors after he passed away. It is shown that many ideas developed in these works have not lost their novelty and urgency until now, and can form the basis of future studies in this field
