Simulations of small-scale turbulent dynamo
A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley, S. F. Taylor +2
We report an extensive numerical study of the small-scale turbulent dynamo at large magnetic Prandtl numbers Pm. A Pm scan is given for the model case of low-Reynolds-number turbul…
Acceleration of energetic particles by large-scale compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Jason L. Maron
Fast particles diffusing along magnetic field lines in a turbulent plasma can diffuse through and then return to the same eddy many times before the eddy is randomized in the turbu…
Critical Magnetic Prandtl Number for Small-Scale Dynamo
A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley, J. L. Maron +1
We report a series of numerical simulations showing that the critical magnetic Reynolds number Rm_c for the nonhelical small-scale dynamo depends on the Reynolds number Re. Namely,…
From Small-Scale Dynamo to Isotropic MHD Turbulence
A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley, S. F. Taylor +2
We consider the problem of incompressible, forced, nonhelical, homogeneous, isotropic MHD turbulence with no mean magnetic field. This problem is essentially different from the cas…
The divergence of neighboring magnetic field lines and fast-particle diffusion in strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, with application to thermal conduction in galaxy clusters
Jason L. Maron, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Eric G. Blackman
We investigate field-line separation in strong MHD turbulence using direct numerical simulations. We find that in the static-magnetic-field approximation the thermal conductivity i…
Thermal conduction and particle transport in strong MHD turbulence, with application to galaxy-cluster plasmas
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Jason L. Maron
We investigate field-line separation in strong MHD turbulence analytically and with direct numerical simulations. We find that in the static-magnetic-field approximation the therma…
