The effect of fast-time-scale turbulence on magnetohydrodynamical behaviour
Abstract
We show what corrections have to be made to the equations of ideal magneto-hydrodynamics when there is fast-time-scale turbulence present in a magnetized plasma. We show how the dispersion relations for the ideal Alfvén and magnetoacoustic MHD normal modes are modified when such turbulence is present. Finally, we discuss the relation of our work to that of other authors.
