Derivation and precision of mean field electrodynamics with mesoscale fluctuations
Hongzhe Zhou, Eric G. Blackman, Luke Chamandy
Mean field electrodynamics (MFE) facilitates practical modeling of secular, large scale properties of astrophysical or laboratory systems with fluctuations.Practitioners commonly a…
Wind-accelerated orbital evolution in binary systems with giant stars
Zhuo Chen, Eric G. Blackman, Jason Nordhaus +2
Using 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations and analytic theory, we study the orbital evolution of asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) binary systems for various initial orbital separati…
Mass Transfer and Disc Formation in AGB Binary Systems
Zhuo Chen, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +2
We investigate mass transfer and the formation of disc in binary systems using a combination of numerical simulations and theory. We consider six models distinguished by binary sep…
Some consequences of shear on galactic dynamos with helicity fluxes
Hongzhe Zhou, Eric G. Blackman
Galactic dynamo models sustained by supernova (SN) driven turbulence and differential rotation have revealed that the sustenance of large scale fields requires a flux of small scal…
Mass transfer in asymptotic-giant-branch binary systems
Z. Chen, A. Frank, E. G. Blackman +2
Binary stars can interact via mass transfer when one member (the primary) ascends onto a giant branch. The amount of gas ejected by the binary and the amount of gas accreted by the…
Sustained turbulence and magnetic energy in non-rotating shear flows
Farrukh Nauman, Eric G. Blackman
From numerical simulations, we show that non-rotating magnetohydrodynamic shear flows are unstable to finite amplitude velocity perturbations and become turbulent, leading to the g…
