Cascades and dissipation ratio in rotating magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at low magnetic Prandtl number.

چکیده
A phenomenology of isotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence subject to both rotation and applied magnetic field is presented. It is assumed that the triple correlation decay time is the shortest between the eddy turn-over time and the ones associated to the rotating frequency and the Alfvén wave period. For Pm=1 it leads to four kinds of piecewise spectra, depending on four parameters: injection rate of energy, magnetic diffusivity, rotation rate, and applied field. With a shell model of MHD turbulence (including rotation and applied magnetic field), spectra for Pm ≤ 1 are presented, together with the ratio between magnetic and viscous dissipations.

Dissipation in dynamos at low and high magnetic Prandtl numbers
Using simulations of helically driven turbulence, it is shown that the ratio of kinetic to magnetic energy dissipation scales with the magnetic Prandtl number in power law fashion with an exponent of approximately 0.6. Over six orders of magnitude in the magnetic Prandtl number the magnetic field is found to be sustained by large-scale dynamo action of alphasquared type. This work extends a sim...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic dissipation range spectra for isotropic viscosity and resistivity
Dissipation range spectra for incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence are derived for isotropic viscosity and resistivity . The spectra are obtained from heuristic closures of spectral transfer correlations for cases with Pm= / 1, where Pm is the magnetic Prandtl number. Familiar inertial range power laws are modified by exponential factors that dominate spectral falloff in the dissipatio...

Using computations of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with a Taylor-Green flow, whose inherent time-independent symmetries are implemented numerically, and in the absence of either a forcing function or an imposed uniform magnetic field, we show that three different inertial ranges for the energy spectrum may emerge for three different initial magnetic fields, the selecti...
متن کاملdynamo at low magnetic Prandtl numbers
We investigate the dynamo problem in the limit of small magnetic Prandtl number (Pm) using a shell model of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. The model is designed to satisfy conservation laws of total energy, cross helicity and magnetic helicity in the limit of inviscid fluid and null magnetic diffusivity. The forcing is chosen to have a constant injection rate of energy and no injection of kine...
متن کاملDimensionless Measures of Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Dissipation Rates
The magnetic Reynolds number RM , is defined as the product of a characteristic scale and associated flow speed divided by the microphysical magnetic diffusivity. For laminar flows, RM also approximates the ratio of advective to dissipative terms in the total magnetic energy equation, but for turbulent flows this latter ratio depends on the energy spectra and approaches unity in a steady state....
