Thoughts on galactic magnetism ∗
Magnetic fields in spiral galaxies have strengths of order few 10−6G, and are coherent on scales of several kpc [1]. In several disk galaxies, like M51 and NGC 6946, they are also highly correlated (or anti-correlated) with the optical spiral arms. How do such ordered, large-scale fields arise? One possibility is dynamo amplification of a weak but nonzero seed field ∼ 10−19 − 10−23G, provided t...
متن کاملGALACTIC MAGNETISM: Recent Developments and Perspectives
We discuss current observational and theoretical knowledge of magnetic fields, especially the large-scale structure in the disks and halos of spiral galaxies. Among other topics, we consider the enhancement of global magnetic fields in the interarm regions, magnetic spiral arms, and representations as superpositions of azimuthal modes, emphasizing a number of unresolved questions. It is argued ...
متن کاملTurbulent pair diffusion.
Kinematic simulations of turbulent pair diffusion in planar turbulence with a k(-5/3) energy spectrum reproduce the laboratory results of Jullien et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2872 (1999)]], in particular the stretched exponential form of the probability density function of pair separations and their correlation functions. The root mean square separation is found to be strongly dependent on init...
متن کاملRadiation modeling of a turbulent diffusion flame in diesel engine
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of radiation heat transfer on temperature distribution and heat flux to the walls of a diesel engine. A diffusion flame is modeled in a simple cylindrical geometry and boundary conditions are defined. A specific solver which can model the turbulent diffusion flame by considering radiation in participating media is used to solve the problem....
متن کاملPgms: to Study the Galactic Magnetism out of the Galactic Plane
The Parkes Galactic Meridian Survey (PGMS) is a 5 × 90 strip to map the polarized synchrotron emission along a Galactic meridian from the Galactic plane down to the south Galactic pole. The survey is carried out at the Parkes radio telescope at a frequency of 2.3 GHz with 30 adjacent 8-MHz bands which enable Faraday Rotation studies. The scientific goal is twofold: (1) To probe the Galactic mag...
