On the relation between 'mixing length' and 'direct interaction approximation' theories of turbulence

The capabilities of direct interaction approximations (DIA) and weak-coupling approximations (WCA) in modeling turbulence in plasma physics studies are examined. DIA and WCA formalisms are reviewed and a DIA expression for homogeneous incompressible hydrodynamics is simplified to derive an energy sp...

description The capabilities of direct interaction approximations (DIA) and weak-coupling approximations (WCA) in modeling turbulence in plasma physics studies are examined. DIA and WCA formalisms are reviewed and a DIA expression for homogeneous incompressible hydrodynamics is simplified to derive an energy spectrum in an arbitrary wavenumber space. A solution is defined for the expression when applied to long wavelength phenomena generated by an instability. The equation is further generalized to yield a transport equation for modeling the spectrum generated by homogeneous turbulence in a linearly unstable system undergoing nonlinear interaction. Finally, the technique is applied to two-dimensional turbulence in a low pressure, weakly ionized plasma embedded in a homogeneous magnetic field and experiencing instabilities caused by electron density and electric potential gradients, such as found in the ionospheric E region.
