Saturation of the turbulent dynamo.
The origin of strong magnetic fields in the Universe can be explained by amplifying weak seed fields via turbulent motions on small spatial scales and subsequently transporting the magnetic energy to larger scales. This process is known as the turbulent dynamo and depends on the properties of turbulence, i.e., on the hydrodynamical Reynolds number and the compressibility of the gas, and on the ...
متن کاملPhenomenology of turbulent dynamo growth and saturation
With a non local shell model of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence we investigate numerically the turbulent dynamo action for low and high magnetic Prandtl numbers (Pm). The results obtained in the kinematic regime and along the way to dynamo saturation are understood in terms of a phenomenological approach based on the local (Pm ≪ 1) or non local (Pm ≫ 1) nature of the energy transfers. In both ca...
متن کاملThe Nonlinear Turbulent Dynamo
We simulate the evolution of an initially weak magnetic field in forced turbulence for a range of Prandtl numbers. The field grows exponentially with the Kulsrud-Anderson k 3/2 spectrum until the magnetic energy approaches the viscous-scale kinetic energy, where the magnetic forces then backreact on the velocity. Further growth proceeds more slowly until a saturated state is reached where the m...
متن کاملA model of nonlinear evolution and saturation of the turbulent MHD dynamo
The growth and saturation of magnetic field in conducting turbulent media with large magnetic Prandtl numbers are investigated. This regime is very common in low-density hot astrophysical plasmas. During the early (kinematic) stage, weak magnetic fluctuations grow exponentially and concentrate at the resistive scale, which lies far below the hydrodynamic viscous scale. The evolution becomes non...
متن کاملThe Self - Similar Turbulent Dynamo
We consider the problem of magnetic-energy amplification by a turbulent flow of conducting fluid. This effect is known as the small-scale turbulent dynamo, and it is believed to be relevant in application to magnetic fields in astrophysical objects. It is, in fact, a generic property of random (in time and/or space) flows that they can amplify magnetic fluctuations at scales smaller than the sc...
