Abstract

In this work we performed a number of MHD numerical simulations of the ISM, for different Alfvenic and sonic Mach numbers. We used the data cubes to perform synthetic calculations of observable polarization and velocity dispersion maps. Based on these, we were able to study the statistics of polarization vectors and compare the obtained results with the different turbulent regimes.
