Comment on "On two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence" [Phys. Plasmas, 8, 3282 (2001)]

Abstract

Biskamp and Schwarz [Phys. Plasmas, 8, 3282 (2001)] have reported that the energy spectrum of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is proportional to k-3/2, which is a prediction of Iroshnikov-Kraichnan phenomenology. In this comment we report some earlier results which conclusively show that for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, Kolmogorov-like phenomenology (spectral index 5/3) is better model than Iroshnikov-Kraichnan phenomenology; these results are based on energy flux analysis.
