The spectral slope of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence varies depending on the spectral theory considered; $ -3/2 $ is the spectral slope in Kraichnan-Iroshnikov-Dobrowolny (KID) theory, $ -5/3 $ in Marsch-Matthaeus-Zhou's and…
We consider the problem of incompressible, forced, nonhelical, homogeneous, isotropic MHD turbulence with no mean magnetic field. This problem is essentially different from the case with externally imposed uniform mean field. There is no…
