We explore the dynamics of the three-dimensional compressible Taylor--Green vortex from the perspective of kinetic theory by directly solving the six-dimensional Boltzmann equation. This work studies the connections between molecular-scale…
We study the evolution of a stochastic helical magnetic field generated in the early Universe after the electroweak phase transition, using standard magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). We find how the coherence length xi, magnetic energy E_M and…
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…
For the understanding of planetary and stellar dynamos an overview of the major parameter dependences of convection driven dynamos in rotating spherical fluid shells is desirable. Although the computationally accessible parameter space is…
We show that the critique of our recent papers presented in the abovementioned paper (NS) appeals to an incorrect mathematical analogy between electrical circuits and linear magnetization dynamics, improperly uses classical concepts of…
Turbulent motions enhance the diffusion of large-scale flows and temperature gradients. Such diffusion is often parameterized by coefficients of turbulent viscosity ($\nu_{\rm t}$) and turbulent thermal diffusivity ($\chi_{\rm t}$) that are…
The temporal evolution of the fluid circulation generated by a buoyancy force when two-dimensional (2D) arrays of 2D thermals are released into a quiescent incompressible fluid is studied through the results of numerous lattice Boltzmann…
This article is focused on the dynamics of a rotating electrically conducting fluid in a turbulent state. As inside the Earth's core or in various industrial processes, a flow is altered by the presence of both background rotation and a…
We investigate the generation of primordial magnetic fields from stochastic currents created by the cosmological transition from inflation to reheating. We consider N charged scalar fields coupled to the electromagnetic field in a curved…
This paper is a detailed report on a programme of simulations used to settle a long-standing issue in the dynamo theory and demonstrate that the fluctuation dynamo exists in the limit of large magnetic Reynolds number Rm>>1 and small…
We systematically discuss the equivalence of two variational formulations of magnetostatics, in terms of magnetization and magnetic field on the one hand and the single field formulation using only magnetic induction. To demonstrate that…
We carry out a computational experiment inspired by a physical experiment by Ouellette and Gollub (PRL 99, 194502 (2007)) where a topological transition of the velocity field in a fluid flow is generated by a grid of magnets. At a…
In the recent years, with the incorporation of contact geometry, there has been a renewed interest in the study of dissipative or non-conservative systems in physics and other areas of applied mathematics. The equations arising when…
Magnetic and kinetic energy in ideal incompressible MHD are not global invariants and, therefore, it had been justified to discuss only the cascade of their sum, total energy. We provide a physical argument based on scale-locality of the…
We build on recent developments in the study of fluid turbulence [Gibbon \textit{et al.} Nonlinearity 27, 2605 (2014)] to define suitably scaled, order-$m$ moments, $D_m^{\pm}$, of $\omega^\pm= \omega \pm j$, where $\omega$ and $j$ are,…
In this paper we examine the role of weak magnetic fields in breaking Kelvin's circulation theorem and in vortex breakup in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics for the physically important case of a low magnetic Prandtl number (low $Pm$)…
Magnetized turbulence is ubiquitous in many astrophysical and terrestrial plasmas but no universal theory exists. Even the detailed energy dynamics in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are still not well understood. We present a suite of…
We revisit the quantum dynamics of a charged particle in a time-dependent magnetic field, a fundamental problem exhibiting rich non-adiabatic behaviour, from the complementary perspective of the Madelung fluid formulation. We first analyse…
The dispersion relation of surface waves of a magnetic fluid in a magnetic field is studied experimentally. We verify the theoretically predicted existence of a non-monotonic dispersion relation. In particular, we demonstrate the existence…
We have carried out high resolution MHD simulations of the nonlinear evolution of Kelvin-Helmholtz unstable flows in 2 1/2 dimensions. The modeled flows and fields were initially uniform except for a thin shear layer with a hyperbolic…
