Nonlinear Behavior of a Non-helical Dynamo
A three-dimensional numerical computation of magnetohydrodynamic dynamo behavior is described. The dynamo is mechanically forced with a driving term of the Taylor-Green type. The magnetic field development is followed from negligibly small levels to saturated values that occur at magnetic energies comparable to the kinetic energies. Though there is locally a helicity density, there is no overal...
متن کاملDynamo efficiency with shear in helical turbulence
To elucidate the influence of shear flow on the generation of magnetic field (the dynamo effect), we study the kinematic limit where the magnetic field does not backreact on the velocity field. By non-perturbatively incorporating the effect of shear in a helically forced turbulence, we show that turbulence intensity and turbulent transport coefficients (turbulent viscosity, α and β effect) are ...
متن کاملMagnetic dynamo action in helical turbulence
We investigate magnetic field amplification in a turbulent velocity field with nonzero helicity, in the framework of the kinematic Kazantsev-Kraichnan model. We present the numerical solution of the model for the practically important case of Kolmogorov distribution of velocity fluctuations, with a large magnetic Reynolds number. We found that in contrast with the nonhelical case where growing ...
متن کاملThe rôle of absolute instability in the solar dynamo
The presence of the equator and poles has a profound effect on the critical dynamonumberDf for the onset of dynamo waves and their subsequent nonlinear evolution. The instability threshold is associated with the onset of absolute instability, which is necessary for the existence of a globally unstablemode. With increasingD thewaves become very rapidly nonlinear and the region of activity extend...
متن کاملA Vorticity-magnetic Field Dynamo Instability
We generalize the mean field magnetic dynamo to include local evolution of the mean vorticity in addition to the mean magnetic field. The coupled equations exhibit a general mean field dynamo instability that enables the transfer of turbulent energy to the magnetic field and vorticity on larger scales. The growth of the vorticity and magnetic field both require helical turbulence which can be s...
