Sustained Magnetorotational Turbulence in Local Simulations of Stratified Disks with Zero Net Magnetic Flux
We examine the effects of density stratification on magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability in local simulations that adopt the shearing box approximation. Our primary result is that, even in the absence of explicit dissipation, the addition of vertical gravity leads to convergence in the turbulent energy densities and stresses as the resolution increases, con...
متن کاملMagnetic Diffusivity Tensor and Dynamo Effects in Rotating and Shearing Turbulence
The turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor is determined in the presence of rotation or shear. The question is addressed whether dynamo action from the shear–current effect can explain large-scale magnetic field generation found in simulations with shear. For this purpose a set of evolution equations for the response to imposed test fields is solved with turbulent and mean motions calculated fro...
متن کاملThermal turbulence in cryogenic helium gas
Several recent experiments have utilized cryogenic helium gas in order to generate high levels of thermal turbulence within a layer of gas heated from below. As the principal control parameter for the fluid turbulence depends strongly on the layer height, this has typically been made as large as feasible, while the lateral dimensions have been kept of the same dimension or smaller for practical...
متن کامل2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows
The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...
متن کاملAlpha effect and diffusivity in helical turbulence with shear
Aims. We study the dependence of turbulent transport coefficients, such as α effect and turbulent magnetic diffusivity, on shear and magnetic Reynolds number in the presence of helical forcing. Methods. We use three-dimensional direct numerical simulations with periodic boundary conditions and measure turbulent transport coefficients using the kinematic test field method. In all cases the magne...
