Inverse cascades and α-effect at low magnetic Prandtl number
Dynamo action in a fully helical Beltrami (ABC) flow is studied using both direct numerical simulations and subgrid modeling. Sufficient scale separation is given in order to allow for largescale magnetic energy build-up. Growth of magnetic energy obtains down to a magnetic Prandtl number PM = RM/RV close to 0.005, where RV and RM are the kinetic and magnetic Reynolds numbers. The critical magn...
متن کاملCascades and dissipation ratio in rotating magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at low magnetic Prandtl number.
A phenomenology of isotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence subject to both rotation and applied magnetic field is presented. It is assumed that the triple correlation decay time is the shortest between the eddy turn-over time and the ones associated to the rotating frequency and the Alfvén wave period. For Pm=1 it leads to four kinds of piecewise spectra, depending on four parameters: in...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamos at infinite magnetic Prandtl number.
The dynamo instability is investigated in the limit of infinite magnetic Prandtl number. In this limit the fluid is assumed to be very viscous so that the inertial terms can be neglected and the flow is enslaved to the forcing. The forcing consist of an external forcing function that drives the dynamo flow and the resulting Lorentz force caused by the back reaction of the magnetic field. The fl...

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...
متن کاملMagnetic dynamo action at low magnetic Prandtl numbers.
Amplification of magnetic field due to kinematic turbulent dynamo action is studied in the regime of small magnetic Prandtl numbers. Such a regime is relevant for planets and stars interiors, as well as for liquid-metal laboratory experiments. A comprehensive analysis based on the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model is reported, which establishes the dynamo threshold and the dynamo growth rates for varyi...
