Appearance of three dimensionality in wall-bounded MHD flows.
We characterize experimentally how three dimensionality appears in wall-bounded magnetohydrodynamic flows. Our analysis of the breakdown of a square array of vortices in a cubic container singles out two mechanisms: first, a form of three dimensionality we call weak appears through differential rotation in individual 2D vortices. Second, strong three dimensionality characterized by vortex disru...
متن کاملHelicity in Hydro and MHD Reconnection
Helicity, a measure of the linkage of flux lines, has subtle and largely unknown effects upon dynamics. Both magnetic and hydrodynamic helicity are conserved for ideal systems and could suppress nonlinear dynamics. What actually happens is not clear because in a fully three-dimensional system there are additional channels whereby intense, small-scale dynamics can occur. This contribution shows ...
متن کاملHelicity, polarization, and Riemann-Silberstein vortices
Bialynicki-Birula has defined Riemann-Silberstein (RS) vortices as surfaces in spacetime where the complex form of a free electromagnetic field given by F = E + iB is null (F · F = 0) and shown that they can be interpreted as the collective history swept out by moving vortex lines of the field. Formally, the nullity condition is similar to the definition of C-lines associated with a monochromat...
متن کاملStrong Anisotropic MHD Turbulence with Cross Helicity
This paper proposes a new phenomenology for strong incompressible MHD turbulence with nonzero cross helicity. This phenomenology is then developed into a quantitative Fokker-Planck model that describes the time evolution of the anisotropic power spectra of the fluctuations propagating parallel and anti-parallel to the background magnetic field B0. It is found that in steady state the power spec...
متن کاملMHD Accretion-Ejection Flows
In this proceeding I present recent works dealing with MHD simulations describing resistive accretion disks continuously launching large-scale, self-collimated MHD jets. In particular, I discuss the physical conditions required to produce these outflows and the related numerical issues. As an illustration I also present axisymmetric MHD numerical simulations of such accretion-ejection engines, ...
