Numerical simulations of turbulent dynamos
Using a periodic box calculation it is shown that, owing to helicity conservation, a large scale field can only develop on a resistive timescale. This behaviour can be reproduced by a mean-field dynamo with α and ηt quenchings that are equally strong and ‘catastrophic’.
متن کاملLarge numerical simulations of turbulent rotating flows
Scientific context Rotation, as measured by the Rossby number (the ratio of the rotation period to the eddy turn over time) is present in astroand geophysics. For example, the high Reynolds number large scales of atmospheric and oceanic flows are affected by the rotation of the Earth; the Rossby number Ro = U0/[L0Ω] for mid-latitude atmospheric synoptic scales is Ro ≈ 0.1 whereas in the solar c...
متن کاملScaling laws of turbulent dynamos Comportements asymptotiques des dynamos turbulentes
We consider magnetic fields generated by homogeneous isotropic and parity invariant turbulent flows. We show that simple scaling laws for dynamo threshold, magnetic energy and Ohmic dissipation can be obtained depending on the value of the magnetic Prandtl number. keywords : dynamo ; turbulence ; magnetic field Version française abrégée Il est à présent admis que les champs magnétiques des étoi...
متن کاملSimulations of Galactic Dynamos
We review our current understanding of galactic dynamo theory, paying particular attention to numerical simulations both of the mean-field equations and the original three-dimensional equations relevant to describing the magnetic field evolution for a turbulent flow. We emphasize the theoretical difficulties in explaining non-axisymmetric magnetic fields in galaxies and discuss the observationa...
متن کاملNumerical Algorithms for Turbulent Mixing Simulations
The desirable features of algorithms for the direct, implicit large-eddy, and largeeddy numerical simulation of compressible turbulent mixing are discussed. Issues specific to turbulence and mixing induced by interfacial instabilities are briefly reviewed. A high-resolution, Eulerian numerical algorithm for compressible turbulent mixing simulations currently in use at the Lawrence Livermore Nat...
