Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence is ubiquitous in magnetized astrophysical plasmas, and it radically changes a great variety of astrophysical processes. In this review, we give the concept of MHD turbulence and explain the origin of its scaling. We consider the implications of MHD turbulence to various problems: dynamo in different types of stars, flare activity, solar and stellar wind from different stars, propagation of cosmic rays, and star formation. We also discuss how the properties of MHD turbulence provide a new way of tracing magnetic fields in interstellar and intracluster media.
