Magnetic Helicity Generation by Solar Differential Rotation
Observations of sunspots, active regions, filaments, coronal arcades, and interplanetary magnetic clouds indicate that the Sun preferentially exhibits left-handed, negative-helicity features in its northern hemisphere, and their opposite counterparts in the south, independent of sunspot cycle. We investigate quantitatively the generation of magnetic helicity by solar differential rotation actin...
متن کاملDifferential rotation and magnetic fields in stellar interiors
The processes contributing to the evolution of an initially weak magnetic field in a differentially rotating star are reviewed. These include rotational smoothing (akin to convective expulsion) and a list of about 5 instabilities, among them magnetorotational instability, buoyancy instability, and pinch-type instabilities. The important effects of thermal and magnetic diffusion on these instabi...
متن کاملRigid and differential plasma crystal rotation induced by magnetic fields
Observations show that plasma crystals, suspended in the sheath of a radio-frequency discharge, rotate under the influence of a vertical magnetic field. Depending on the discharge conditions, two different cases are observed: a rigid-body rotation (all the particles move with a constant angular velocity) and sheared rotation (the angular velocity of particles has a radial distribution). When th...
متن کاملDifferential Rotation in Neutron Stars: Magnetic Braking and Viscous Damping
Diffferentially rotating stars can support significantly more mass in equilibrium than nonrotating or uniformly rotating stars, according to general relativity. The remnant of a binary neutron star merger may give rise to such a “hypermassive” object. While such a star may be dynamically stable against gravitational collapse and bar formation, the radial stabilization due to differential rotati...
متن کاملLagrangian Visualization of Flow-Embedded Surface Structures
The notions of Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent (FTLE) and Lagrangian Coherent Structures provide a strong framework for the analysis and visualization of complex technical flows. Their definition is simple and intuitive, and they are built on a deep theoretical foundation. We apply these concepts to enable the analysis of flows in the immediate vicinity of the boundaries of flow-embedded objects ...
