We construct a time-independent, incompressible, and Lipschitz-continuous velocity field in $\mathbb{R}^3$ that generates a fast kinematic dynamo - an instability characterized by exponential growth of magnetic energy, independent of…
Chicone et al [Comm Math Phys (1997)] investigated existence of fast dynamos by analyzing the spectrum kinematic magnetic dynamo. In real non-degenerate branch of the spectrum, the kinematic dynamo operator lies on a compact Riemannian 2D…
The mean-field theory of magnetized stellar convection gives rise to the two possibility of distinct instabilities: the large-scale dynamo instability, operating in the bulk of the convection zone, and a negative effective magnetic pressure…
In this study, we investigate preferences of dipolar magnetic structure from a seed magnetic field in the rapidly rotating spherical shell dynamo models. In this study, we set up a realistic model to show the effect of the Lorentz force in…
We investigated the influence of small scale magnetic energy ($E_M$) and magnetic helicity ($H_M$) on the growth rate ($\gamma$) of large scale magnetic field ($\overline{{\bf B}}$). $H_M$ that plays a key role in MHD dynamo is a…
Magnetic fields play a very important role in the evolution of galaxies through their direct impact on star formation and stellar feedback-induced turbulence. However, their co-evolution with these processes has still not been thoroughly…
Magnetic field amplification in astrophysics ultimately requires an understanding of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. Kinetic helicity has long been known to be important for large scale field growth in forced MHD turbulence, and has been…
We use direct and stochastic numerical simulations of the magnetohydrodynamic equations to explore the influence of turbulence on the dynamo threshold. In the spirit of the Kraichnan-Kazantsev model, we model the turbulence by a noise, with…
Magnetic fields pervade the entire Universe and affect the formation and evolution of astrophysical systems from cosmological to planetary scales. The generation and dynamical amplification of extragalactic magnetic fields through cosmic…
We address the scaling behavior of the covariance of the magnetic field in the three-dimensional kinematic dynamo problem when the boundary conditions and/or the external forcing are not isotropic. The velocity field is gaussian and…
Context: Convectively-driven flows play a crucial role in the dynamo processes that are responsible for producing magnetic activity in stars and planets. It is still not fully understood why many astrophysical magnetic fields have a…
We consider rotating, kinematic dynamos at low magnetic Prandtl number $Pm$. We show that the inclusion of rotation leads to an increase in spatio-temporal coherence and a modification of the turbulent spectrum. These effects make the flow…
We present numerical simulations of three-dimensional compressible magnetoconvection in a rotating rectangular box that represents a section of the solar convection zone. The box contains a convectively unstable layer, surrounded by stably…
Using direct numerical simulations of forced rotating turbulence, we study the effect of rotation on the growth rate and the saturation level of the small-scale dynamo. For slow rotation rates, increasing the rotation rate reduces both the…
We have extended our previous mean-field galactic dynamo model which included algebraic and dynamic alpha nonlinearities (Kleeorin et al., A&A, v. 387, 453, 2002), to include also a quenching of turbulent diffusivity. We readily obtain…
For cylindrical differentially rotating plasmas, we study large-scale magnetic field generation from finite amplitude non-axisymmetric perturbations by comparing numerical simulations with quasi-linear analytic theory. When initiated with a…
The kinematic regime of the magnetic dynamo neglects the backreaction of the magnetic field on the flow. For small magnetic diffusivity, in the early stage of evolution, there is an ideal phase where dissipative effects can also be…
The small-scale kinematic dynamo in a two-dimensional chaotic flow is studied. The analytic approach is developed in framework of the Kraichnan-Kazantsev model. It is shown that the growth of magnetic field $\bm{B}$ fluctuations stops at…
Convectively driven dynamos with rotation generating magnetic fields on scales large compared with the scale of the turbulent eddies are being reviewed. It is argued that such fields can be understood as the result of an alpha effect.…
Here we explore the role of temporal fluctuations in kinetic helicity on the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in presence of a background linear shear flow. Key techniques involved here are same as in our earlier work…
