Role of the Hall Current in Magnetohydrodynamic Dynamos
A theoretical mean field closure for Hall magnetohydrodynamics (Hall-MHD) is developed to investigate magnetic field generation through dynamo processes in low electron density astrophysical systems. We show that by modifying the dynamics of microscopic flows, the Hall currents could have a profound impact on the generation of macroscopic magnetic fields. As an illustrative example, we show how...
متن کاملFrom large-scale to small-scale dynamos
Several recent advances in turbulent dynamo theory are reviewed. High resolution simulations of small-scale and large-scale dynamo action in periodic domains are compared with each other and contrasted with similar results at low magnetic Prandtl numbers. It is argued that all the different cases show similarities at intermediate length scales. On the other hand, in the presence of helicity of ...
متن کاملSynthesis of small and large scale dynamos
Using a closure model for the evolution of magnetic correlations, we uncover an interesting plausible saturated state of the smallscale fluctuation dynamo (SSD) and a novel anology between quantum mechanical tunneling and the generation of large-scale fields. Large scale fields develop via the α-effect, but as magnetic helicity can only change on a resistive timescale, the time it takes to orga...
متن کاملMhd Simulations of Small and Large Scale Dynamos
Isotropic homogeneous hydromagnetic turbulence is studied using numerical simulations at resolutions of up to 1024 3 meshpoints. It is argued that, in contrast to the kinematic regime, the nonlinear regime is characterized by a spectral magnetic power that is decreasing with increasing wavenumber, regardless of whether or not the turbulence has helicity. This means that the root-mean-square fie...
متن کاملHyperdiffusion in nonlinear large- and small-scale turbulent dynamos.
The generation of large-scale magnetic fields is generically accompanied by the more rapid growth of small-scale fields. The growing Lorentz force due to these fields backreacts on the turbulence to saturate the mean-field and small-scale dynamos. For the mean-field dynamo, in a quasilinear treatment of this saturation, it is generally thought that, while the alpha effect gets renormalized and ...
