Acceleration of Plasma Flows Due to Inverse Dynamo Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ”inverse–dynamo” mechanism — the amplification/generation of fast plasma flows by short scale (turbulent) magnetic fields via magneto–fluid coupling is recognized and explored. It is shown that large–scale magnetic fields and flows are generated simultaneously and proportionately from short scale fields and flows. The stronger the short–scale driver, the stronger are the large–scale products. Stellar and astrophysical applications are suggested. Subject headings: acceleration of particles — magnetic fields — MHD — instabilities — Stars: magnetic fields — Stars: atmospheres — Stars: chromospheres — Stars: coronae — ISM: magnetic fields The generation of large scale magnetic fields (primarily from short scale velocity fields) defines the standard ”dynamo” mechanism. The dynamo action seems to be a very pervasive phenomenon; in fusion devices as well as in astrophysics (stellar atmosphere, MHD jets) one sees the emergence of macro–scale magnetic fields from an initially turbulent system. The relaxation observed in the Reverse Field pinches is a vivid illustration of the dynamo in action. Search for interactions that may result in efficient dynamo action is one of the most flourishing fields in plasma astrophysics. The myriad phenomena taking place in the stellar atmospheres (heating of the corona, the stellar wind etc.) could hardly be understood without knowing the origin and nature of the magnetic field structures weaving the corona.

Acceleration of Plasma Flows Due to Reverse Dynamo Mechanism
The ”reverse–dynamo” mechanism — the amplification/generation of fast plasma flows by micro scale (turbulent) magnetic fields via magneto–fluid coupling is recognized and explored. It is shown that macroscopic magnetic fields and flows are generated simultaneously and proportionately from microscopic fields and flows. The stronger the micro–scale driver, the stronger are the macro–scale product...
متن کاملRiemann curvature-stretching coupling in dynamo torus laboratory and in UHF twisted plasma loops
Kleeorin, Rogachevskii, Tomin and Sokoloff [Phys Rev E79,046302,(2009)] have shown that Roberts slow dynamo can be transformed into a fast dynamo by allowing its coefficients randomly fluctuate. Stretching, fundamental for fast dynamo action, is increased by mean helicity flow. Previous investigation on slow dynamo plasma and anti-fast dynamo theorem in Riemannian geometry [Garcia de Andrade, P...

One of the interesting Laser-Plasma phenomena, when the laser power is high and ultra intense, is the generation of large amplitude plasma waves (Wakefield) and electron acceleration. An intense electromagnetic laser pulse can create plasma oscillations through the action of the nonlinear pondermotive force. electrons trapped in the wake can be accelerated to high energies, more than 1 TW. Of t...

Magnetic curvature effects, investigated by Barrow and Tsagas (BT) [Phys Rev D 77,(2008)],as a mechanism for magnetic field decay in open Friedmann universes (Λ < 0), are applied to dynamo geometric Ricci flows in 3D curved substrate in laboratory. By simple derivation, a covariant three-dimensional magnetic self-induced equation, presence of these curvature effects, indicates that de Sitter co...
متن کاملSlow dynamo modes in compact Riemannian plasma devices from Brazilian spherical tokamak data
Anti-dynamo modes are usually found in spheromaks plasma devices experiments due to the fact that Cowlings anti-dynamo theorem is naturally applied to axisymmetric devices and flows. In this paper full consideration is given to the existence of slow dynamo modes in the case of compact Riemannian plasma devices without boundaries, such as tokamaks, stellarators and torsatrons. It is shown that a...
