Shear-current effect in a turbulent convection with a large-scale shear.
The shear-current effect in a nonrotating homogeneous turbulent convection with a large-scale constant shear is studied. The large-scale velocity shear causes anisotropy of turbulent convection, which produces the mean electromotive force epsilon (W) proportional to W x J and the mean electric current along the original mean magnetic field, where W is the background mean vorticity due to the sh...
متن کاملDynamic nonlinearity in large scale dynamos with shear
An explicitly time dependent equation for the alpha-effect in mean field dynamo theory is employed to ensure that the magnetic helicity equation for the total (small and large scale) magnetic field is obeyed exactly. The dependence of the turbulent magnetic diffusivity on the field strength is unconstrained by magnetic helicity conservation and is therefore employed as a free parameter. The app...
متن کاملTurbulent Dynamos with Shear and Fractional Helicity
Dynamo action owing to helically forced turbulence and large-scale shear is studied using direct numerical simulations. The resulting magnetic field displays propagating wave-like behavior. This behavior can be modelled in terms of an αΩ dynamo. In most cases super-equipartition fields are generated. By varying the fraction of helicity of the turbulence the regeneration of poloidal fields via t...
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 ...
