Fluctuation dynamo and turbulent induction at low magnetic Prandtl numbers
This paper is a detailed report on a programme of direct numerical simulations of incompressible nonhelical randomly forced MHD turbulence that are used to settle a long-standing issue in the turbulent dynamo theory and demonstrate that the fluctuation dynamo exists in the limit of large magnetic Reynolds number Rm ≫ 1 and small magnetic Prandtl number Pm ≪ 1. The dependence of the critical Rmc...
متن کاملOnset of Small-scale Turbulent Dynamo at Low Magnetic Prandtl Numbers
We study numerically the dependence of the critical magnetic Reynolds number Rmc for the turbulent smallscale dynamo on the hydrodynamic Reynolds number Re. We are interested in the regime of low magnetic Prandtl number Pm = Rm/Re < 1, which is relevant for stellar convective zones, protostellar disks, and laboratory liquidmetal experiments. The two asymptotic possibilities are Rmc → const as R...
متن کاملThe Onset of a Small-scale Turbulent Dynamo at Low Magnetic Prandtl Numbers
We study numerically the dependence of the critical magnetic Reynolds number Rmc for the turbulent smallscale dynamo on the hydrodynamic Reynolds number Re. The turbulence is statistically homogeneous, isotropic, and mirror–symmetric. We are interested in the regime of low magnetic Prandtl number Pm = Rm/Re < 1, which is relevant for stellar convective zones, protostellar disks, and laboratory ...
متن کاملSmall-Scale Turbulent Dynamo
Kinematic dynamo theory is presented here for turbulent conductive fluids. We describe how inhomogeneous magnetic fluctuations are generated below the viscous scale of turbulence where the spatial smoothness of the velocity permits a systematic analysis of the Lagrangian path dynamics. We find analytically the moments and multipoint correlation functions of the magnetic field at small yet finit...
متن کاملdynamo at low magnetic Prandtl numbers
We investigate the dynamo problem in the limit of small magnetic Prandtl number (Pm) using a shell model of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The model is designed to satisfy conservation laws of total energy, cross helicity and magnetic helicity in the limit of inviscid fluid and null magnetic diffusivity. The forcing is chosen to have a constant injection rate of energy and no injection of kine...
