Sustained Turbulence in Differentially Rotating Magnetized Fluids at Low Magnetic Prandtl Number
Farrukh Nauman, Martin E. Pessah
We show for the first time that sustained turbulence is possible at low magnetic Prandtl number for Keplerian flows with no mean magnetic flux. Our results indicate that increasing…
On Helium Mixing in Quasi-global Simulations of the Intracluster Medium
Thomas Berlok, Martin E. Pessah
The assumption of a spatially uniform helium distribution in the intracluster medium can lead to biases in the estimates of key cluster parameters if composition gradients are pres…
Stability Analysis of Convection in the Intracluster Medium
Himanshu Gupta, Shailendra K. Rathor, Martin E. Pessah +1
We use the machinery usually employed for studying the onset of Rayleigh--Bénard convection in hydro- and magnetohydro-dynamic settings to address the onset of convection induced b…
Local Simulations of Instabilities Driven by Composition Gradients in the ICM
Thomas Berlok, Martin E. Pessah
The distribution of Helium in the intracluster medium (ICM) permeating galaxy clusters is not well constrained due to the very high plasma temperature. Therefore, the plasma is oft…
