title: Anisotropy in Quasi-Static Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence.
abstract: In this review we summarise the current status of the quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The energy spectrum is steeper than Kolmogorov's k-5/3spectrum due to the decrease of the kinetic energy flux with wavenumber k as a result of Joule dissipation. The spectral index decreases with the increase of interaction parameter. The flow is quasi two-dimensional with strong [Formula: see text] at small k and weak [Formula: see text] at large k, where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are the perpendicular and parallel components of velocity relative to the external magnetic field. For small k, the energy flux of [Formula: see text] is negative, but for large k, the energy flux of [Formula: see text] is positive. Pressure mediates the energy transfer from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text].
