Mean-field interpretation of star-in-a-box simulations of red giants
Carolina A. Ortiz-Rodríguez, Axel Brandenburg, Petri J. Käpylä
Context: The origin of magnetic fields and the dynamo mechanism in red giants are still not fully understood. Aims: We aim to interpret the dynamo behaviour of global 3D simulation…
Magnetic field amplification during a turbulent collapse
Axel Brandenburg, Evangelia Ntormousi
The question of whether a dynamo can be triggered by gravitational collapse is of great interest, especially for the early Universe. Here, we employ supercomoving coordinates to st…
Magnetorotational instability in a solar near-surface mean-field dynamo
Axel Brandenburg, Gustav Larsson, Fabio Del Sordo +1
We address the question whether the magnetorotational instability (MRI) can operate in the near-surface shear layer (NSSL) of the Sun and how it affects the interaction with the dy…
Inverse cascade from helical and nonhelical decaying columnar magnetic fields
Axel Brandenburg, Longqing Yi, Xianshu Wu
Powerful lasers may in future produce magnetic fields that would allow us to study turbulent magnetohydrodynamic inverse cascade behavior. This has so far only been seen in numeric…
Magnetic helicity fluxes in dynamos from rotating inhomogeneous turbulence
Axel Brandenburg, Ethan T. Vishniac
We analyze direct numerical simulations of large-scale dynamos in inhomogeneous nonhelically driven rotating turbulence with and without shear. The forcing is modulated so that the…
Spectra of magnetic fields from electroweak symmetry breaking
Tanmay Vachaspati, Axel Brandenburg
We characterize magnetic fields produced during electroweak symmetry breaking by non-dynamical numerical simulations based on the Kibble mechanism. The generated magnetic fields we…
