Large-Scale Magnetic-Field Generation by Randomly Forced Shearing Waves

T. Heinemann, J. C. McWilliams, A. A. Schekochihin

A rigorous theory for the generation of a large-scale magnetic field by random non-helically forced motions of a conducting fluid combined with a linear shear is presented in the a…

Numerical experiments on dynamo action in sheared and rotating turbulence

T. A. Yousef, T. Heinemann, F. Rincon +5

Numerical simulations of forced turbulence in elongated shearing boxes are carried out to demonstrate that a nonhelical turbulence in conjunction with a linear shear can give rise…

Generation of Magnetic Field by Combined Action of Turbulence and Shear

T. A. Yousef, T. Heinemann, A. A. Schekochihin +5

The feasibility of a mean-field dynamo in nonhelical turbulence with superimposed linear shear is studied numerically in elongated shearing boxes. Exponential growth of magnetic fi…

Nonlinear growth of firehose and mirror fluctuations in turbulent galaxy-cluster plasmas

A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley, R. M. Kulsrud +2

In turbulent high-beta astrophysical plasmas (exemplified by the galaxy cluster plasmas), pressure-anisotropy-driven firehose and mirror fluctuations grow nonlinearly to large ampl…
