Magnetic Helicity Density and Its Flux in Weakly Inhomogeneous Turbulence
A gauge-invariant and hence physically meaningful definition of magnetic helicity density for random fields is proposed, using the Gauss linking formula, as the density of correlated field line linkages. This definition is applied to the random small-scale field in weakly inhomogeneous turbulence, whose correlation length is small compared with the scale on which the turbulence varies. For inho...
متن کاملMean-field transport in stratified and/or rotating turbulence
Context. The large-scale magnetic fields of stars and galaxies are often described in the framework of mean-field dynamo theory. At moderate magnetic Reynolds numbers, the transport coefficients defining the mean electromotive force can be determined from simulations. This applies analogously also to passive scalar transport. Aims. We investigate the mean electromotive force in the kinematic fr...
متن کاملmean flow and turbulence in compound channels with vegetated floodplains
the study of flow in compound channels with vegetated floodplains is essential to assessing the development of the stage-discharge relationship and sediment and pollutant transport. the present study experimentally investigated mean flow and turbulence characteristics in a prismatic compound channel. the experimental program consisted of vegetated and non-vegetated floodplains with different re...
متن کاملComparison of Three Turbulence Models in Wear Prediction of Multi-Size Particulate Flow through Rotating Channel
The present work compares the performance of three turbulence modeling approach (based on the two-equation k ε − model) in predicting erosive wear in multi-size dense slurry flow through rotating channel. All three turbulence models include rotation modification to the production term in the turbulent kineticenergy equation. The two-phase flow field obtained numerically using Galerkin finite el...
متن کاملInfluence of initial mean helicity on homogeneous turbulent shear flow.
Helicity statistics are studied in homogeneous turbulent shear flow. Initial mean helicity is imposed on an isotropic turbulence field using a decomposition of the flow into complex-valued helical waves. The initial decay of the turbulent kinetic energy is weakened in the presence of strong mean helicity, consistent with an analytic analysis of the spectral tensor of velocity correlations. Whil...
