conjecture that in strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence the linear Alfven time and nonlinear eddy time stay comparable, giving anisotropic eddies.

In plasma physics, critical balance refers to conjecture that in strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence the linear Alfven time and nonlinear eddy time stay comparable, giving anisotropic eddies. This meaning comes from Goldreich (1995) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
