Using a periodic box calculation it is shown that, owing to helicity conservation, a large scale field can only develop on a resistive timescale. This behaviour can be reproduced by a mean-field dynamo with α and ηt quenchings that are equally strong and ‘catastrophic’.

Plasma is a partially or fully ionized gas. Ionized gas contains free electrons and ions which carry electric charges. Thus, plasma is subject to electromagnetic forces and can react to external electric and magnetic fields. Moreover, since plasma contains free charge carriers, their relative motion can also set internal electric and magnetic fields, which in turn also influence their dynamics....

The focus of this project is to determine whether commercial general purpose raybased electromagnetic analysis tool (XGYD by Remcom, Inc.) can be an effective and accurate method of simulating a reverberation chamber and wireless communication within a confined and reflective environment, like a car. An introduction that includes the mathematical equations which govern the wireless channel is g...
