Histogram of Lorentz to Coriolis force ratios on a point-by-point basis. Histogram showing the distribution of Lorentz to Coriolis forces at each point in our simulation with E=10⁻⁴, R a=1.9R a _c , P r=1, and P m=2. Color denotes the mean kinetic energy per force ratio bin relative to the mean kinetic energy of the system. The probability Elsasser number corresponds to the most probable force ratio bin, Λ ^P=0.12. In contrast, the imposed Elsasser number is Λ _i =1.31, the integrated Elsasser number is Λ ^I=0.18, the dynamic Elsasser number is Λ _d =0.14, and the modified dynamic Elasser number is \(\Lambda _{d}^{*}=0.12\)
