A weak turbulence theory is derived for magnetohydrodynamics under rapid rotation and in the presence of a large-scale magnetic field. The angular velocity $Ω_0$ is assumed to be uniform and parallel to the constant Alfvén speed ${\bf b_0}$. Such a system exhibits left and right circularly polarized waves which can be obtained by introducing the magneto-inertial length $d \equiv b_0/Ω_0$. In the large-scale limit ($kd \to 0$; $k$ being the wave number), the left- and right-handed waves tend respectively to the inertial and magnetostrophic waves whereas in the small-scale limit ($kd \to + \infty$) pure Alfvén waves are recovered. By using a complex helicity decomposition, the asymptotic weak turbulence equations are derived which describe the long-time behavior of weakly dispersive interacting waves {\it via} three-wave interaction processes. It is shown that the nonlinear dynamics is mainly anisotropic with a stronger transfer perpendicular ($\perp$) than parallel ($\parallel$) to the rotating axis. The general theory may converge to pure weak inertial/magnetostrophic or Alfvén wave turbulence when the large or small-scales limits are taken respectively. Inertial wave turbulence is asymptotically dominated by the kinetic energy/helicity whereas the magnetostrophic wave turbulence is dominated by the magnetic energy/helicity. For both regimes a family of exact solutions are found for the spectra which do not correspond necessarily to a maximal helicity state. It is shown that the hybrid helicity exhibits a cascade whose direction may vary according to the scale $k_f$ at which the helicity flux is injected with an inverse cascade if $k_fd < 1$ and a direct cascade otherwise. The theory is relevant for the magnetostrophic dynamo whose main applications are the Earth and giant planets for which a small ($\sim 10^{-6}$) Rossby number is expected.
Precession-driven dynamos in a full sphere and the role of large scale cyclonic vortices
岁差已被提议作为行星发电机的替代动力源。以前的流体动力学模拟表明,岁差可以在行星液核中产生非常复杂的流动[Y。Lin,P. Marti,and J.
