Stationary solution for quasi-homogeneous small-scale magnetic field advected by non-Gaussian turbulent flow

Abstract

We consider fluctuations of magnetic field excited by external force and advected by isotropic turbulent flow. It appears that non-Gaussian velocity gradient statistics and finite region of pumping force provide the existence of stationary solution. The mean-square magnetic field is calculated for arbitrary velocity gradient statistics. An estimate for possible feedback of magnetic field on velocity shows that, for wide range of parameters, stationarity without feedback would take place even in the case of intensive pumping of magnetic field.
