A shell model for turbulent dynamos
A self-consistent nonlinear dynamo model is presented. The nonlinear behavior of the plasma at small scale is described by using a MHD shell model for fields fluctuations; this allow us to study the dynamo problem in a large parameter regime which characterizes the dynamo phenomenon in many natural systems and which is beyond the power of supercomputers at today. The model is able to reproduce ...
متن کاملTurbulent Dynamos and Magnetic Helicity
It is shown that the turbulent dynamo -e ect converts magnetic helicity from the turbulent eld to the mean eld when the turbulence is electromagnetic while the magnetic helicity of the meaneld is transported across space when the turbulence is electrostatic or due to the electron diamagnetic e ect. In all cases, however, the dynamo e ect strictly conserves the total helicity except for a batter...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of turbulent dynamos
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’.
متن کاملScaling laws of turbulent dynamos Comportements asymptotiques des dynamos turbulentes
We consider magnetic fields generated by homogeneous isotropic and parity invariant turbulent flows. We show that simple scaling laws for dynamo threshold, magnetic energy and Ohmic dissipation can be obtained depending on the value of the magnetic Prandtl number. keywords : dynamo ; turbulence ; magnetic field Version française abrégée Il est à présent admis que les champs magnétiques des étoi...
متن کاملHow do Turbulent Dynamos Saturate?
The convective model equations ((??)-(??)) were integrated for a wide range of parameters ; with varying degrees of supercriticality (as measured by Ra) and rotation rates (as measured by T a). For all cases, whether rotating or non-rotating, the results were qualitatively similar and so we focus here on describing the results for one representative case, with T a = 0 and Ra = 100, 000. The oth...
