Connection between Active Longitudes and Magnetic Helicity
A two-dimensional mean field dynamo model is solved where magnetic helicity conservation is fully included. The model has a negative radial velocity gradient giving rise to equatorward migration of magnetic activity patterns. In addition the model develops longitudinal variability with activity patches travelling in longitude. These patches may be associated with active longitudes.
متن کاملCurrent profile control by alternating current magnetic helicity injection
Current profile control by ac magnetic helicity injection is computationally investigated in a reversed field pinch ~RFP!. Three-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamics ~MHD! computation is employed to study the nonlinear MHD. During ac helicity injection, when toroidal and poloidal surface voltages are oscillated out of phase, the parallel electric field is maintained positive over a majori...
متن کاملMagnetic Helicity Evolution
The term “dynamo” means different things to the laboratory fusion plasma and astrophysical plasma communities. To alleviate the resulting confusion and to facilitate interdisciplinary progress, we pinpoint conceptual differences and similarities between laboratory plasma dynamos and astrophysical dynamos. We can divide dynamos into three types: 1. magnetically dominated helical dynamos which su...
متن کاملTurbulent Dynamos and Magnetic Helicity
It is shown that the turbulent dynamo -e ect converts magnetic helicity from the turbulent eld to the mean eld when the turbulence is electromagnetic while the magnetic helicity of the meaneld is transported across space when the turbulence is electrostatic or due to the electron diamagnetic e ect. In all cases, however, the dynamo e ect strictly conserves the total helicity except for a batter...
متن کاملMagnetic helicity and cosmological magnetic field
The magnetic helicity has paramount significance in nonlinear saturation of galactic dynamo. We argue that the magnetic helicity conservation is violated at the lepton stage in the evolution of early Universe. As a result, a cosmological magnetic field which can be a seed for the galactic dynamo obtains from the beginning a substantial magnetic helicity which has to be taken into account in the...
