Shell Models for Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence

Chaotic Dynamics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review the main properties of shell models for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. After a brief account on shell models with nearest neighbour interactions, the paper focuses on the most recent results concerning dynamical properties and intermittency of a model which is a generalization to MHD of the Gledzer-Yamada-Okhitani (GOY) model for hydrodynamic. Applications to astrophysical problems are also discussed.
