Filament thickness distributions for decaying turbulence simulations at time t = 5 × 10-3 using different timestep limits. The black solid line corresponds to the ideal 5123 run and the colored lines to runs with ambipolar diffusion and different timestep limits. ta is the Alfvén crossing time of a cell. Top: density threshold of 2000 cm-3, bottom: 5000 cm-3. The dotted lines indicate the mean ambipolar diffusion dissipation length λd, calculated from Eq. (1) for each density threshold, the resolution lengths lm,512 and lm,1024, equal to the length of 20 cells, and the sonic length ls, defined by Eq. (11), for an rms Mach number of 5.
