高磁大型发电机Action的研究Reynolds Number

On Large-Scale Dynamo Action at High Magnetic Reynolds Number

Fausto Cattaneo, Steven Tobias

摘要:

我们考虑在极大磁雷诺数的天体物理极限下磁活动--发电机波的产生。我们考虑了由螺旋流和大尺度剪切组成的系统的运动发电机作用。我们表明,大规模的发电机波坚持在高$Rm$,如果螺旋流的特点是由一个狭窄的频带的空间尺度和剪切足够大。然而,对于宽尺度带,随着$Rm$的进一步增加,发电机变得小尺度,只有当剪切增加时,发电机波才重新出现。我们表明,在高$Rm$剪切的关键作用是抑制小规模的发电机行动,允许大规模的发电机行动进行观察。我们推测,这支持了一个普遍的“抑制原理”-大规模发电机行动只能观察到,如果有一个机制,抑制小规模的波动。

英文摘要:

We consider the generation of magnetic activity --- dynamo waves --- in the astrophysical limit of very large magnetic Reynolds number. We consider kinematic dynamo action for a system consisting of helical flow and large-scale shear. We demonstrate that large-scale dynamo waves persist at high $Rm$ if the helical flow is characterised by a narrow band of spatial scales and the shear is large enough. However for a wide band of scales the dynamo becomes small-scale with a further increase of $Rm$, with dynamo waves re-emerging only if the shear is then increased. We show that at high $Rm$ the key effect of the shear is to suppress small-scale dynamo action, allowing large-scale dynamo action to be observed. We conjecture that this supports a general "suppression principle" --- large-scale dynamo action can only be observed if there is a mechanism that suppresses the small-scale fluctuations.
