Anomalous scaling in kinematic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence: Two-loop anomalous dimensions of leading composite...

Using the field theoretic formulation of the kinematic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, the explicit expressions for the anomalous dimensions of leading composite operators, which govern the inertial-range scaling properties of correlation functions of the weak magnetic field passively advected by the electrically conductive turbulent environment driven by the Navier-Stokes velocity field, are derived and analyzed in the second order of the corresponding perturbation expansion (in the two-loop approximation). Their properties are compared to the properties of the same anomalous dimensions obtained in the framework of the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model of the kinematic magnetohydrodynamics with the Gaussian statistics of the turbulent velocity field as well as to the analogous anomalous dimensions of the leading composite operators in the problem of the passive scalar advection by the Gaussian (the Kraichnan model) and non-Gaussian (driven by the Navier-Stokes equation) turbulent velocity field. It is shown that, regardless of the Gaussian or non-Gaussian statistics of the turbulent velocity field, the two-loop corrections to the leading anomalous dimensions are much more important in the case of the problem of the passive advection of the vector (magnetic) field than in the case of the problem of the passive advection of scalar fields. At the same time, it is also shown that, in phenomenologically the most interesting case with three spatial dimensions, higher velocity correlations of the turbulent environment given by the Navier-Stokes velocity field play a rather limited role in the anomalous scaling of passive scalar as well as passive vector quantities, i.e., that the two-loop corrections to the corresponding leading anomalous dimensions are rather close to those obtained in the framework of the Gaussian models, especially as for the problem of scalar field advection. On the other hand, the role of the non-Gaussian statistics of the turbulent velocity field becomes dominant for higher spatial dimensions in the case of the kinematic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence but remains negligible in the problem of the passive scalar advection.
