Nonlinear turbulent magnetic diffusion and mean-field dynamo.
The nonlinear coefficients defining the mean electromotive force (i.e., the nonlinear turbulent magnetic diffusion, the nonlinear effective velocity, the nonlinear kappa tensor, etc.) are calculated for an anisotropic turbulence. A particular case of an anisotropic background turbulence (i.e., the turbulence with zero-mean magnetic field) with one preferential direction is considered. It is sho...
متن کاملMixed-parity Solutions in a Mean-field Dynamo Model
S u m m a r y : We consider the effect of including both dipole and quadrupole parities in the previous mean-field model of Hollerbach and Jones (1995), which considered dipole parity only. Allowing for both parities, we find that the onset of dynamo action occurs at a0 « 6, in the form of a purely quadrupolar dynamo wave. A symmetry-breaking bifurcation then occurs at ao « 11, beyond which the...
متن کاملZonal flows in a mean-field solar dynamo model
Cyclic variations are observed in the solar differential rotation profile. The 11 year periodicity of these zonal shear flows (often referred to as “torsional oscillations”) is consistent with the idea that they are driven by the Lorentz forces that are associated with the large-scale solar dynamo. This suggests that these flows may be able to provide indirect observational evidence that can be...
متن کاملCoexisting stochastic and coherence resonance in a mean-field dynamo model for Earth’s magnetic field reversals
Using a spherical symmetric mean field α-dynamo model for Earth’s magnetic field reversals, we show the coexistence of the noise-induced phenomena coherence resonance and stochastic resonance. Stochastic resonance has been recently invoked to explain the 100 kyr periodicity in the distribution of the residence time between reversals. The comparison of the resulting residence time distribution w...
متن کاملSmall-scale magnetic helicity losses from a mean-field dynamo
Using mean-field models with a dynamical quenching formalism, we show that in finite domains magnetic helicity fluxes associated with small-scale magnetic fields are able to alleviate catastrophic quenching. We consider fluxes that result from advection by a mean flow, the turbulent mixing down the gradient of mean small-scale magnetic helicity density or the explicit removal which may be assoc...
