Galactic dynamos driven by magnetic buoyancy
We consider a mean field dynamo model for the generation of galactic magnetic fields, in which the driving mechanism for the alpha-effect is the buoyancy-driven Parker instability, rather than the conventional cyclonic turbulence. The dominant quenching mechanism is a buoyant velocity, which lifts field away from the disc plane. Our modified alpha-effect is essentially nonlinear, as its magnitu...
متن کاملCharacteristics Of A Magnetic Buoyancy Driven Solar Dynamo Model
We have developed a hybrid model of the solar dynamo on the lines of the Babcock–Leighton idea that the poloidal field is generated at the surface of the Sun from the decay of active regions. In this model magnetic buoyancy is handled with a realistic recipe wherein toroidal flux is made to erupt from the overshoot layer wherever it exceeds a specified critical field (10 G). The erupted toroida...
متن کاملEnergy spectrum of buoyancy-driven turbulence.
Using high-resolution direct numerical simulation and arguments based on the kinetic energy flux Π(u), we demonstrate that, for stably stratified flows, the kinetic energy spectrum E(u)(k)∼k(-11/5), the potential energy spectrum E(θ)(k)∼k(-7/5), and Π(u)(k)∼k(-4/5) are consistent with the Bolgiano-Obukhov scaling. This scaling arises due to the conversion of kinetic energy to the potential ener...
متن کاملPressure- and magnetic shear-driven instabilities in rotating MHD jets
We derive new stability criteria for purely MHD instabilities in rotating jets, in the framework of the ballooning ordering expansion. Quite unexpectedly, they involve a term which is linear in the magnetic shear. This implies that cylindrical configurations can be destabilized by a negative magnetic shear as well as by a favorable equilibrium pressure gradient, in distinction with the predicti...
متن کاملMagnetic-diffusion-driven shear instability of solar flux tubes
The dynamics of the partially ionized solar photosphere and chromosphere can be described by a set of equations that are structurally similar to the magnetohydrodynamic equations, except now the magnetic field is no longer frozen in the fluid but slips through it due to non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic effects which are manifested as Ohm, ambipolar and Hall diffusion. Macroscopic gas motions are w...
