Fig. 6

Relative orientation parameter, ξ, as a function of the Alfvén Mach number, ℳA, in the simulations introduced in Soler et al. (2013). The darker colors represent the early snapshots in the simulation and the lighter colors represent the later snapshots. The values ξ> 0 correspond to ∇ρ mostly perpendicular to B and ξ< 0 correspond to ∇ρ mostly parallel to B. The gray horizontal line is ξ = 0, which corresponds to the case where there is no preferred relative orientation between ∇ρ and B. The gray vertical line, drawn for reference, corresponds to ℳA = 1, which marks the border between sub-, ℳA< 1, and super-Alfvénic, ℳA> 1, turbulence.
