Initially Maxwellian distribution of test particles with thermal velocity v th = c s is simulated for t = 20 L/ c s (many eddy turnover times) in our fiducial simulation (Table 1), with two different values of the imposed scattering rate ν. The final distribution functions are slightly non-Maxwellian but do not develop a significantly non-thermal tail. f( v) shown here is the one-dimensional distribution function, normalized such that the density is n 0 = ∫ dvf( v).
