Spontaneous magnetization of collisionless plasma through the action of a shear flow
Muni Zhou, Vladimir Zhdankin, Matthew W. Kunz +2
We study in a fully kinetic framework the generation of seed magnetic fields through the Weibel instability driven in an initially unmagnetized plasma by a large-scale shear force.…
Inverse energy transfer in decaying, three dimensional, nonhelical magnetic turbulence due to magnetic reconnection
Pallavi Bhat, Muni Zhou, Nuno F. Loureiro
It has been recently shown numerically that there exists an inverse transfer of magnetic energy in decaying, nonhelical, magnetically dominated, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in 3…
Multi-scale dynamics of magnetic flux tubes and inverse magnetic energy transfer
Muni Zhou, Nuno F. Loureiro, Dmitri A. Uzdensky
We report on an analytical and numerical study of the dynamics of a three-dimensional array of identical magnetic flux tubes in the reduced-magnetohydrodynamic description of the p…
Magnetic island merger as a mechanism for inverse magnetic energy transfer
Muni Zhou, Pallavi Bhat, Nuno F. Loureiro +1
Magnetic energy transfer from small to large scales due to successive magnetic island coalescence is investigated. A solvable analytical model is introduced and shown to correctly…
