Evolution of magnetic fields in freely decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We study the evolution of magnetic fields in freely decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. By quasilinearizing the Navier-Stokes equation, we solve analytically the induction equation in the quasinormal approximation. We find that, if the magnetic field is not helical, the magnetic energy and correlation length evolve in time, respectively, as E(B) proportional to t(-2(1+p)/(3+p)) and xi(B) p...

The heating of the solar corona is likely to be due to reconnection of the highly complex magnetic field that threads throughout its volume. We have run a numerical experiment of an elementary interaction between the magnetic field of two photospheric sources in an overlying field that represents a fundamental building block of the coronal heating process. The key to explaining where, how and h...
متن کاملPreliminary Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Magnetic Nozzles
We present preliminary results from two computational magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) studies of magnetic nozzles. The first study models the magnetic nozzle expansion of a plasma into a near vacuum with a resistive MHD solver. Results from resistive MHD simulations suggest that further model development is necessary to replicate experimental results within the desired physical regime. The second stu...
متن کاملSkeletons via Shocks of Boundary Evolution
In this chapter we develop the Hamiltonian formulation of the eikonal equation and then relate it to the specific case of Blum’s grassfire flow, which gives the level sets of the Euclidean distance function to the boundary. This view provides an explicit association between medial loci and the singularities of this flow. In order to detect these singularities we consider the average outward flu...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic experiments on cosmic magnetic fields
It is widely known that cosmic magnetic fields, including the fields of planets, stars, and galaxies, are produced by the hydromagnetic dynamo effect in moving electrically conducting fluids. It is less well known that cosmic magnetic fields play also an active role in cosmic structure formation by enabling outward transport of angular momentum in accretion disks via the magnetorotational insta...
