Magnetoconvection and dynamo coefficients: Dependence of the α effect on rotation and magnetic field
We present numerical simulations of three-dimensional compressible magnetoconvection in a rotating rectangular box that represents a section of the solar convection zone. The box contains a convectively unstable layer, surrounded by stably stratified layers with overshooting convection. The magnetic Reynolds number, Rm, is chosen subcritical, thus excluding spontaneous growth of the magnetic fi...
متن کاملMagnetoconvection and dynamo coefficients II. Field-direction dependent pumping of magnetic field
We study the pumping of magnetic flux in three-dimensional compressible magnetoconvection in the context of stellar dynamos. The simulation domain represents a rectangular section from the lower part of a stellar convection zone plus the underlying stably stratified layer, with a total depth of up to five pressure scale heights. Once convection has attained a statistically stationary state, a m...
متن کاملDynamo coefficients from local simulations of the turbulent ISM
Observations in polarized emission reveal the existence of large-scale coherent magnetic fields in a wide range of spiral galaxies. Radio-polarization data show that these fields are strongly inclined towards the radial direction, with pitch angles up to 35 and thus cannot be explained by differential rotation alone. Global dynamo models describe the generation of the radial magnetic field from...
متن کاملSolar Small-scale Magnetoconvection
Magnetoconvection simulations on mesogranule and granule scales near the solar surface are used to study the effect of convective motions on magnetic fields: the sweeping of magnetic flux into downflow lanes, the twisting of magnetic field lines, and the emergence and disappearance of magnetic flux tubes. Fromweak seed fields, convective motions produce highly intermittent magnetic fields in th...
متن کاملAnisotropic turbulence in rotating magnetoconvection
Numerical simulations of the 3D MHD-equations that describe rotating magnetoconvection in a Cartesian box have been performed using the code NIRVANA. The characteristics of large-scale quantities like the turbulence intensity and the turbulent heat flux that are caused by the average action of the small-scale fluctuations are computed directly from the fluctuating primitive variables. and the e...
