The alpha effect with imposed and dynamo-generated magnetic fields

A. Hubbard, F. Del Sordo, P. J. Käpylä, A. Brandenburg

摘要:

采用两种不同的方法估计螺旋湍流中的非线性α效应与施加的磁场:施加场的方法,由于施加场的电动势被使用,和测试场的方法,其中单独的演化方程求解一组不同的测试字段。这两种方法都同意较强的磁场,但有明显的差异,较弱的领域,可以解释的影响,发电机产生的磁场的规模上的域,被称为中尺度磁场。例子进行了讨论,这些中尺度领域可以导致大幅高估和低估的值相比,运动学的情况下,α。研究表明,通过在一定的时间间隔内将波动磁场复位到零,可以恢复运动学值。它的结论是,这是首选的技术都强加场和测试场的方法。

英文摘要:

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 test-field method where separate evolution equations are solved for a set of different test fields. Both approaches agree for stronger fields, but there are apparent discrepancies for weaker fields that can be explained by the influence of dynamo-generated magnetic fields on the scale of the domain that are referred to as meso-scale magnetic fields. Examples are discussed where these meso-scale fields can lead to both drastically overestimated and underestimated values of alpha compared with the kinematic case. It is demonstrated that the kinematic value can be recovered by resetting the fluctuating magnetic field to zero in regular time intervals. It is concluded that this is the preferred technique both for the imposed-field and the test-field methods.
