Direct measurement of effective magnetic diffusivity in turbulent flow of liquid sodium.
The first direct measurements of effective magnetic diffusivity in turbulent flow of electroconductive fluids (the so-called β effect) under the magnetic Reynolds number Rm≫1 are reported. The measurements are performed in a nonstationary turbulent flow of liquid sodium, generated in a closed toroidal channel. The peak level of the Reynolds number reached Re≈3×10(6), which corresponds to the ma...

15 صفحه اولTurbulence reduces magnetic diffusivity in a liquid sodium experiment.
The contribution of small scale turbulent fluctuations to the induction of a mean magnetic field is investigated in our liquid sodium spherical Couette experiment with an imposed magnetic field. An inversion technique is applied to a large number of measurements at Rm≈100 to obtain radial profiles of the α and β effects and maps of the mean flow. It appears that the small scale turbulent fluctu...
متن کاملDirect observation of the turbulent emf and transport of magnetic field in a liquid sodium experiment
For the first time, we have directly measured the transport of a vector magnetic field by isotropic turbulence in a high Reynolds number liquid metal flow. In analogy with direct measurements of the turbulent Reynolds stress (turbulent viscosity) that governs momentum transport, we have measured the turbulent electromotive force (emf) by simultaneously measuring three components of velocity and...
متن کاملGeneration of a magnetic field by dynamo action in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium.
We report the observation of dynamo action in the von Kármán sodium experiment, i.e., the generation of a magnetic field by a strongly turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium. Both mean and fluctuating parts of the field are studied. The dynamo threshold corresponds to a magnetic Reynolds number R(m) approximately 30. A mean magnetic field of the order of 40 G is observed 30% above threshold a...
