剪切驱动不均匀性的最小化大尺度发电机

Minimalist large scale dynamo from shear-driven inhomogeneity

F. Ebrahimi, E. G. Blackman

摘要:

我们表明,非轴对称,非螺旋扰动在非分层剪切流产生剪切平面平均电动势(EMF)成比例的空间相关的动力学螺旋度。这种新的“剪切驱动的$α$效应”可以放大剪切平面平均磁场,但当调用发电机系数的均匀性假设时是不可忽略的。这是一个候选机制,在天体物理学,实验室和模拟剪切流的大尺度场生成,并强调正确平均发电机系数和字段的重要性。

英文摘要:

We show that non-axisymmetric, non-helical perturbations in an unstratified shear flow produce a shear-plane averaged electromotive force (EMF) proportional to a spatially dependent kinetic helicity. This new "shear-driven $α$-effect" can amplify shear-plane averaged magnetic fields, but is undiscoverable when invoking the homogeneity assumption for dynamo coefficients. It is a candidate mechanism underlying large scale field generation in astrophysical, laboratory, and simulated shear flows, and highlights the essentiality of correctly averaging dynamo coefficients and fields.
