A WKB method was recently used to extend rapid distortion theory (RDT) to initially inhomogeneous turbulence strained by irrotational mean flows [S.V. Nazarenko, N. Kevlahan, B. Dubrulle, J. Fluid Mech. 390 (1999) 325]. This theory takes into account the feedback of turbulence on the mean flow, and it was used by Nazarenko et al. to explain the effect of strain reduction caused by turbulence ob...

We present numerical investigations into three principal properties of the small-scale dynamo in stably stratified turbulence: onset criterion, growth rate, and nature magnetic field anisotropy kinematic regime. The results suggest that all are controlled by scale separation between Ozmidov viscous or resistive scale. In addition to critical Reynolds number, this allows for definition buoyancy ...
