摘要: We present high resolution numerical simulations of compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. concentrate on studies spectra and anisotropy velocity density. describe a technique separating different modes (slow, fast Alfven) apply it to our simulations. For the mildly supersonic case, density show anisotropy. However, for highly we observe steepening slow mode spectrum isotropization Our that gets substantially {\it flatter} than Kolmogorov one.
