Most of us understand that Lorentz force can channel gas flows, which can cause turbulence anisotropy. But when turbulence anisotropy is not observed, does it mean that B-fields is weak (or turbulence is super-Alfvenic)?

Most of us assuming magnetic flux freezing in molecular clouds. But how confident we are on this assumption, especially when ALMA takes us to the new territories?

I will present our recent simulations and observations aiming to tackle these questions.
