Distributed versus tachocline dynamos
Axel Brandenburg
Arguments are presented in favor of the idea that the solar dynamo may operate not just at the bottom of the convection zone, i.e. in the tachocline, but it may operate in a more d…
Location of the solar dynamo and near-surface shear
Axel Brandenburg
The location of the solar dynamo is discussed in the context of new insights into the theory of nonlinear turbulent dynamos. It is argued that, from a dynamo-theoretic point of vie…
Turbulence and its parameterization in accretion discs
Axel Brandenburg
Accretion disc turbulence is investigated in the framework of the shearing box approximation. The turbulence is either driven by the magneto-rotational instability or, in the non-m…
Magnetic helicity density and its flux in weakly inhomogeneous turbulence
Kandaswamy Subramanian, Axel Brandenburg
A gauge invariant and hence physically meaningful definition of magnetic helicity density for random fields is proposed, using the Gauss linking formula, as the density of correlat…
Effect of the radiative background flux in convection
A. Brandenburg, K. L. Chan, A. Nordlund +1
Numerical simulations of turbulent stratified convection are used to study models with approximately the same convective flux, but different radiative fluxes. As the radiative flux…
Simulating field-aligned diffusion of a cosmic ray gas
A. P. Snodin, Axel Brandenburg, A. J. Mee +1
The macroscopic behaviour of cosmic rays in turbulent magnetic fields is discussed. An implementation of anisotropic diffusion of cosmic rays with respect to the magnetic field in…
