Velocity Anisotropy as a Diagnostic of the Magnetization of the Interstellar Medium and Molecular Clouds

We use a set of magnetohydrodynamic simulations of fully developed (driven) turbulence to study the anisotropy in the velocity field that is induced by the presence of the magnetic field. In our models, we study turbulence characterized by sonic Mach numbers Ms from 0.7 to 7.5 and Alfven Mach number...
