Characterization of turbulence in inhomogeneous anisotropic flows
Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Pantxo Diribarne, Romain Monchaux +3
We introduce a global quantity that characterizes turbulent fluctuations in inhomogeneous anisotropic flows. This time-dependent quantity is based on spatial averages of global…
Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations and statistical temperatures in a turbulent von Kármán flow
Romain Monchaux, Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Pierre-Henri Chavanis +4
We experimentally characterize the fluctuations of the non-homogeneous non-isotropic turbulence in an axisymmetric von Kármán flow. We show that these fluctuations satisfy relation…
Magnetic induction in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium: mean behaviour and slow fluctuations
F. Ravelet, R. Volk, A. Chiffaudel +10
We study the flow response to an externally imposed homogeneous magnetic field in a turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium -- the VKS2 experiment in which magnetic Reynolds numbe…
Magnetic field reversals in an experimental turbulent dynamo
M. Berhanu, R. Monchaux, S. Fauve +11
We report the first experimental observation of reversals of a dynamo field generated in a laboratory experiment based on a turbulent flow of liquid sodium. The magnetic field rand…
Generation of magnetic field by dynamo action in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium
R. Monchaux, M. Berhanu, M. Bourgoin +13
We report the observation of dynamo action in the VKS experiment, i.e., the generation of magnetic field by a strongly turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium. Both mean and fluct…
Transport of magnetic field by a turbulent flow of liquid sodium
R. Volk, F. Ravelet, R. Monchaux +8
We study the effect of a turbulent flow of liquid sodium generated in the von Kármán geometry, on the localized field of a magnet placed close to the frontier of the flow. We obser…
