| 英文摘要 | The compressible component of solar wind turbulence displays a slow-mode feature. However, the nature of the slow-mode fluctuations remain open. In this work, based on numerical simulations of the driven compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with a uniform mean magnetic field, we use polarization of the MHD modes to decompose turbulent velocity and magnetic fields into Alfven modes, slow modes, and fast modes. The numerical results with different cross-helicity, plasma beta beta, and Alfven Mach number note that fast modes are a marginal component among the three decomposed modes, and the compressible component of the MHD turbulence behaves mainly as the slow modes. Both of the decomposed slow modes and Alfven modes exhibit a Kolmogorov-like power-law spectrum and evident anisotropy, with wavevectors mainly distributing around the directions perpendicular to the uniform mean field. For the first time, it is found that the propagating slow magnetosonic waves as well as the non-propagating slow-mode structures are combined to contribute to the compressible fluctuations, and the propagating Alfven waves as well as the non-propagating Alfven-mode structures coexist for the non-compressible fluctuations. However, there is unlikely a one-to-one match between the identified slow waves and Alfven waves, or between the identified slow-mode structures and Alfven-mode structures. These findings provide a new perspective on our understanding of the compressible and non-compressible fluctuations. |
