Using numerical simulations at moderate magnetic Reynolds numbers up to 220 it is shown that in the kinematic regime, isotropic helical turbulence leads to an alpha effect and a turbulent diffusivity whose values are independent of the…
The nonlinear coefficients defining the mean electromotive force (i.e., the nonlinear turbulent magnetic diffusion, the nonlinear effective velocity, the nonlinear kappa-tensor, etc.) are calculated for an anisotropic turbulence. A…
Dynamo action owing to helically forced turbulence and large-scale shear is studied using direct numerical simulations. The resulting magnetic field displays propagating wave-like behavior. This behavior can be modelled in terms of an…
The turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor is determined in the presence of rotation or shear. The question is addressed whether dynamo action from the shear-current effect can explain large-scale magnetic field generation found in…
We extend the standard two-scale theory of the turbulent dynamo coefficient $\alpha$ to include the nonlinear back reaction of the mean field $\bar B$ on the turbulence. We calculate the turbulent emf as a power series in $\bar B$, assuming…
We calculate the mean electromotive force in plane Couette flows of a nonrotating conducting fluid under the influence of a large-scale magnetic field for driven turbulence. A vertical stratification of the turbulence intensity results in…
A plane-shear flow in a fluid with forced turbulence is considered. If the fluid is electrically-conducting then a mean electromotive force (EMF) results even without basic rotation and the magnetic diffusivity becomes a highly anisotropic…
Aims: To determine alpha effect and turbulent magnetic diffusivity for mean magnetic fields with profiles of different length scale from simulations of isotropic turbulence, and to relate these results to nonlocal formulations in which…
We investigate the transport coefficients $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in plasma systems with varying Reynolds numbers while maintaining a unit magnetic Prandtl number. {The $\alpha$ and $\beta$ tensors parameterize the turbulent electromotive…
In systems where the standard $\alpha$ effect is inoperative, one often explains the existence of mean magnetic fields by invoking the `incoherent $\alpha$ effect', which appeals to fluctuations of the mean kinetic helicity at a mesoscale.…
We re-examine the nature of the turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor of mean field electrodynamics and show that an inconsistency arises if it is calculated via consideration of time-independent magnetic fields. Specifically, the predicted…
The evolution of the magnetic helicity tensor for a nonzero mean magnetic field and for large magnetic Reynolds numbers in an anisotropic turbulence is studied. It is shown that the isotropic and anisotropic parts of the magnetic helicity…
A numerical model of isotropic homogeneous turbulence with helical forcing is investigated. The resulting flow, which is essentially the prototype of the alpha^2 dynamo of mean-field dynamo theory, produces strong dynamo action with an…
Various approaches to estimate turbulent transport coefficients from numerical simulations of hydromagnetic turbulence are discussed. A quantitative comparison between the averaged magnetic field obtained from a specific three-dimensional…
The influence of fluctuating conductivity on the coefficients known from the mean-field electrodynamics is considered. If the conductivity fluctuations are assumed as uncorrelated with the turbulent velocity field then only the effective…
We perform a mean-field analysis of the EULAG-MHD millenium simulation of global magnetohydrodynamical convection presented in Passos et al. 2014. The turbulent electromotive force operating in the simulation is assumed to be linearly…
We study the dependence of turbulent transport coefficients, such as the components of the $\alpha$ tensor ($\alpha_{ij}$) and the turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor ($\eta_{ij}$), on shear and magnetic Reynolds number in the presence of…
Estimates for the nonlinear alpha effect in helical turbulence with an applied magnetic field are presented using two different approaches: the imposed-field method where the electromotive force owing to the applied field is used, and the…
We study a nonlinear quenching of turbulent magnetic diffusion and effective drift velocity of large-scale magnetic field in a developed two-dimensional MHD turbulence at large magnetic Reynolds numbers. We show that transport of the…
We investigate the mean electromotive force in the kinematic framework, that is, ignoring the back-reaction of the magnetic field on the fluid velocity, under the assumption of axisymmetric turbulence determined by the presence of either…
