Author(s): James R. Beattie and Amitava Bhattacharjee Patchy alignment pervades magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, yet its role in the turbulent cascade remains unclear. Using net- and no-net-flux compressible simulations with up to $10,36{8}^{3}$ grid cells, we uncover two distinct alignment laws. Our constant-flux model of departures from locally … [Phys. Rev.
