Taking control of compressible modes: bulk viscosity and the turbulent dynamo
James R. Beattie, Christoph Federrath, Neco Kriel +2
Many polyatomic astrophysical plasmas are compressible and out of chemical and thermal equilibrium, introducing a bulk viscosity into the plasma via the internal degrees of freedom…
Fundamental MHD scales -- II: the kinematic phase of the supersonic small-scale dynamo
Neco Kriel, James R. Beattie, Christoph Federrath +2
Many astrophysical small-scale dynamos (SSDs) amplify weak magnetic fields via highly compressible, supersonic turbulence, but established SSD theories have overlooked these compre…
Lagrangian statistics of a shock-driven turbulent dynamo in decaying turbulence
Justin Kin Jun Hew, Christoph Federrath
Small-scale fluctuating magnetic fields of order G are observed in supernova shocks and galaxy clusters, where its amplification is likely caused by the Biermann battery mechani…
