Current-day cosmic ray (CR) propagation studies use static Milky-Way models and fit parametrized source distributions to data. Instead, we use three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of isolated galaxies with the…
A convection-driven MHD dynamo in a rotating spherical shell, with clearly defined structural elements in the flow and magnetic field, is simulated numerically. Such dynamos can be called deterministic, in contrast to those explicitly…
Feeding with gas in streams is predicted to be an important galaxy growth mechanism. Using an idealised setup, we study the impact of stream feeding (with 10$^7$ M$_{\odot}$ Myr$^{-1}$ rate) on the star formation and outflows of disc…
Galactic outflows influence the evolution of galaxies not only by expelling gas from their disks but also by injecting energy into the circumgalactic medium (CGM). This alters or even prevents the inflow of fresh gas onto the disk and thus…
Magnetic fields play an important role in almost all astrophysical phenomena including star formation. But due to the difficulty in analytic modeling and observation, magnetic fields are still poorly studied and numerical simulation has…

Magnetic fields grow quickly even at early cosmological times, suggesting the action of a small-scale dynamo (SSD) in the interstellar medium of galaxies. Many studies have focused on idealized turbulent driving of the SSD. Here we simulate…
