Onset of Fast Magnetic Reconnection in Partially Ionized Gases
Leonid M. Malyshkin, Ellen G. Zweibel
We consider quasi-stationary two-dimensional magnetic reconnection in a partially ionized incompressible plasma. We find that when the plasma is weakly ionized and the collisions b…
Magnetic dynamo action in random flows with zero and finite correlation times
Joanne Mason, Leonid Malyshkin, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
Hydromagnetic dynamo theory provides the prevailing theoretical description for the origin of magnetic fields in the universe. Here we consider the problem of kinematic, small-scal…
Magnetic dynamo action at low magnetic Prandtl numbers
Leonid M. Malyshkin, Stanislav Boldyrev
Amplification of magnetic field due to kinematic turbulent dynamo action is studied in the regime of small magnetic Prandtl numbers. Such a regime is relevant for planets and stars…
Fast and slow two-fluid magnetic reconnection
Leonid M. Malyshkin
We present a two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model of quasi-stationary, two-dimensional magnetic reconnection in an incompressible plasma composed of electrons and ions. We fi…
Model of two-fluid reconnection
Leonid M. Malyshkin
A theoretical model of quasi-stationary, two-dimensional magnetic reconnection is presented in the framework of incompressible two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The results are…
Amplification of magnetic fields by dynamo action in Gaussian-correlated helical turbulence
Leonid Malyshkin, Stanislav Boldyrev
We investigate the growth and structure of magnetic fields amplified by kinematic dynamo action in turbulence with non-zero kinetic helicity. We assume a simple Gaussian velocity c…
