چکیده

We study magnetic field evolution in flows with fluctuating in time governing parameters in electrically conducting fluid. We use a standard mean-field approach to derive equations for large-scale magnetic field for the fluctuating Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flow as well as for the fluctuating Roberts flow. The derived mean-field dynamo equations have growing solutions with growth rate of the large-scale magnetic field which is not controlled by molecular magnetic diffusivity. Our study confirms the Zeldovich idea that the nonstationarity of the fluid flow may remove the obstacle in the large-scale dynamo action of classic stationary flows.

Mean-field helicity in random α-dynamo twisted flows

Recent results by Shukurov, Stepanov and Sokoloff [Phys. Rev. E 78,025301,(2008)] on dynamo action in Moebius strip flows, indicate that strong magnetic fields appear in regions where, electric current and flow kinetic helicities have the same sign. Here, an analytical version of their numerical result is obtained by a simpler method of considering the laminar non-turbulent limit, of a twisted ...

Homogenization and mixing measures for a replenishing passive scalar field

The efficiency with which an incompressible flow mixes a passive scalar field that is continuously replenished by a steady source-sink distribution has been quantified using the suppression of the mean scalar variance below the value it would attain in the absence of the stirring. We examine the relationship this mixing measure has to the effective diffusivity obtained from homogenization theor...

Periodic Orbits of the ABC Flow with A=B=C=1

In this paper, we prove that the celebrated Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flow with parameters A = B = C = 1 ẋ = sin z + cos y ẏ = sinx+ cos z ż = sin y + cosx, has periodic orbits on (2πT) with rotation vectors parallel to (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), and (0, 0, 1). Despite ABC flows being studied since the 1960s, this seems to be the first time existence of non-perturbative periodic orbits has bee...

Lattice Boltzmann Formulation for Linear Viscoelastic Fluids Using an Abstract Second Stress

The kinetic theory of gases implies an independent evolution equation for the momentum flux tensor that closely resembles an evolution equation for the elastic stress in continuum descriptions of viscoelastic liquids. However, kinetic theory leads to a non-objective convected derivative for the evolution of the deviatoric stress, and a fixed relation between the stress relaxation rate and the v...

Clustering criterion for inertial particles in two-dimensional time-periodic and three-dimensional steady flows.

We derive an analytic condition that predicts the exact location of inertial particle clustering in three-dimensional steady or two-dimensional time-periodic flows. The particles turn out to cluster on attracting inertial Lagrangian coherent structures that are smooth deformations of invariant tori. We illustrate our results on three-dimensional steady flows, including the Hill's spherical vort...
