A generalized mean magnetic field induction equation for differential rotators is derived, including a compressibility, and the anisotropy induced on the turbulent quantities from the mean magnetic field itself and a mean velocity shear. Derivations of the mean field equations often do not emphasize that there must be anisotropy and inhomogeneity in the turbulence for mean field growth. The ani...

Magnetic fields of laboratory, planetary, stellar, and galactic plasmas commonly exhibit significant order on large temporal or spatial scales compared to the otherwise random motions within the hosting system. Such ordered fields can be measured in the case of planets, stars, and galaxies, or inferred indirectly by the action of their dynamical influence, such as jets. Whether large scale fiel...

Reconnection is an important process that rules dissipation and diffusion of magnetic energy in plasmas. It already clear its rate enhanced by turbulence, reconnection itself may increase stochasticity, but the main mechanism connects these two effects still not completely understood. The aim this work to identify, from terms electromotive force, dominant physical responsible for enhancing turb...

UNLABELLED uMelt(SM) is a flexible web-based tool for predicting DNA melting curves and denaturation profiles of PCR products. The user defines an amplicon sequence and chooses a set of thermodynamic and experimental parameters that include nearest neighbor stacking energies, loop entropy effects, cation (monovalent and Mg(++)) concentrations and a temperature range. Using an accelerated partit...

The conjecture that helicity (or knottedness) is a fundamental conserved quantity has a rich history in fluid mechanics, but the nature of this conservation in the presence of dissipation has proven difficult to resolve. Making use of recent advances, we create vortex knots and links in viscous fluids and simulated superfluids and track their geometry through topology-changing reconnections. We...

Q1 We study the inverse cascade of magnetic helicity in conducting fluids, as pertinent to the generation and dynamics of magnetic fields as observed, e.g., in the solar corona, by investigating the detailed transfer of helicity between different spherical shells in Fourier space in direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Two different numerical simulations...

We construct a structure-preserving finite element method and time-stepping scheme for compressible barotropic magnetohydrodynamics both in the ideal resistive cases, presence of viscosity. The is deduced from geometric variational formulation equations. It preserves balance laws governing evolution total energy magnetic helicity, mass constraint $\text {div}B = 0$ to machine precision, at spat...

Magnetic field generation on scales that are large compared with the scale of the turbulent eddies is known to be possible via the so-called α effect when the turbulence is helical and if the domain is large enough for the α effect to dominate over turbulent diffusion. Using three-dimensional turbulence simulations, we show that the energy of the resulting mean magnetic field of the saturated s...

BACKGROUND The BJUT-II VAD is a novel left ventricular assist device (LVAD), which is thought to have significant effects on the characteristics of aortic swirling flow. However, the precise mechanism of the rotational direction of BJTU-II VAD in the aortic swirling flow is unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS A patient-specific aortic geometric model was reconstructed based on the CT data. Three pump...
