The small magnetic Prandtl number approximation suppresses magnetorotational instability
Axisymmetric stability of viscous resistive magnetized Couette flow is re-examined, with emphasis on flows that would be hydrodynamically stable according Rayleigh’s criterion: opposing gradients of angular velocity and specific angular momentum. In this regime, magnetorotational instability (MRI) may occur. The governing system in cylindrical coordinates is of tenth order. It is proved, by met...
متن کاملTurbulent magnetic Prandtl number and magnetic diffusivity quenching from simulations
Forced turbulence simulations are used to determine the turbulent kinematic viscosity, νt, from the decay rate of a large scale velocity field. Likewise, the turbulent magnetic diffusivity, ηt, is determined from the decay of a large scale magnetic field. In the kinematic regime, when the field is weak, the turbulent magnetic Prandtl number, νt/ηt, is about unity. When the field is nonhelical, ...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamos at infinite magnetic Prandtl number.
The dynamo instability is investigated in the limit of infinite magnetic Prandtl number. In this limit the fluid is assumed to be very viscous so that the inertial terms can be neglected and the flow is enslaved to the forcing. The forcing consist of an external forcing function that drives the dynamo flow and the resulting Lorentz force caused by the back reaction of the magnetic field. The fl...
متن کاملMagnetic susceptibility of insulators from first principles.
We present an ab initio approach for the computation of the magnetic susceptibility χ of insulators. The approach is applied to compute χ in diamond and in solid neon using density functional theory in the local density approximation, obtaining good agreement with experimental data. In solid neon, we predict an observable dependence of χ upon pressure. 75.20.-g, 71.15.-m, 71.15.Mb Typeset using...
متن کاملThe Turbulent Magnetic Prandtl Number of MHD Turbulence in Disks
The magnetic Prandtl number PrM is the ratio of viscosity to resistivity. In astrophysical disks the diffusion of angular momentum (viscosity) and magnetic fields (resistivity) are controlled by turbulence. Phenomenological models of the evolution of large scale poloidal magnetic fields in disks suggest that the turbulent magnetic Prandtl number PrM,T controls the rate of escape of vertical fie...
