Numerical solutions of the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic alpha-model
P. D. Mininni, D. C. Montgomery, A. Pouquet
We present direct numerical simulations and alpha-model simulations of four familiar three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence effects: selective decay, dynamic alignm…
Nonlinear behavior of a non-helical dynamo
P. D. Mininni, Y. Ponty, D. C. Montgomery +3
A three-dimensional numerical computation of magnetohydrodynamic dynamo behavior is described. The dynamo is mechanically forced with a driving term of the Taylor-Green type. The m…
A numerical study of the alpha model for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulent flows
P. D. Mininni, D. C. Montgomery, A. G. Pouquet
We explore some consequences of the ``alpha model,'' also called the ``Lagrangian-averaged'' model, for two-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This mo…
Waves, Coriolis force and the dynamo effect
S. M. Mahajan, P. D. Mininni, D. O. Gómez
Dynamo activity caused by waves in a rotating magneto-plasma is investigated. In astrophysical environments such as accretion disks and at sufficiently small spatial scales, the Ha…
Direct simulations of helical Hall-MHD turbulence and dynamo action
P. D. Mininni, D. O. Gómez, S. M. Mahajan
Direct numerical simulations of turbulent Hall dynamos are presented. The evolution of an initially weak and small scale magnetic field in a system maintained in a stationary turbu…
Numerical study of dynamo action at low magnetic Prandtl numbers
Y. Ponty, P. D. Mininni, D. C. Montgomery +3
We present a three--pronged numerical approach to the dynamo problem at low magnetic Prandtl numbers . The difficulty of resolving a large range of scales is circumvented by c…
