Catastrophic alpha quenching alleviated by helicity flux and shear
A new simulation set-up is proposed for studying mean field dynamo action. The model combines the computational advantages of local cartesian geometry with the ability to include a shear profile that resembles the sun’s differential rotation at low latitudes. It is shown that in a two-dimensional mean field model this geometry produces cyclic solutions with dynamo waves traveling away from the ...
متن کاملNonlinear current helicity fluxes in turbulent dynamos and alpha quenching.
Large scale dynamos produce small scale current helicity as a waste product that quenches the large scale dynamo process (alpha effect). This quenching can be catastrophic (i.e., intensify with magnetic Reynolds number) unless one has fluxes of small scale magnetic (or current) helicity out of the system. We derive the form of helicity fluxes in turbulent dynamos, taking also into account the n...
متن کاملRole of cross-helicity in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
Strong incompressible three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is investigated by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations. The simulations show that the configuration space is characterized by regions of positive and negative cross-helicity, corresponding to highly aligned or antialigned velocity and magnetic field fluctuations, even when the average cross-helicity is zero...
متن کاملStrong Anisotropic MHD Turbulence with Cross Helicity
This paper proposes a new phenomenology for strong incompressible MHD turbulence with nonzero cross helicity. This phenomenology is then developed into a quantitative Fokker-Planck model that describes the time evolution of the anisotropic power spectra of the fluctuations propagating parallel and anti-parallel to the background magnetic field B0. It is found that in steady state the power spec...
متن کاملAGN Feedback and Its Quenching Efficiency
In the last decade, observations have accumulated on gas outflows in galaxies, and in particular massive molecular ones. The mass outflow rate is estimated between 1 and 5 times the star formation rate. For the highest maximal velocities, they are driven by AGN; these outflows are therefore a clear way to moderate or suppress star formation. Some of the most convincing examples at low redshift ...
