MHD turbulence: a biased review

AA Schekochihin - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2022 - cambridge.org
This review of scaling theories of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence aims to put the
developments of the last few years in the context of the canonical time line (from Kolmogorov …

Nonhelical inverse transfer of a decaying turbulent magnetic field

A Brandenburg, T Kahniashvili, AG Tevzadze - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
In the presence of magnetic helicity, inverse transfer from small to large scales is well known
in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and has applications in astrophysics …

Adding helicity to inflationary magnetogenesis

C Caprini, L Sorbo - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The most studied mechanism of inflationary magnetogenesis relies on the time-dependence
of the coefficient of the gauge kinetic term F μν F μν. Unfortunately, only extremely finely …

Reconnection-controlled decay of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and the role of invariants

DN Hosking, AA Schekochihin - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
We present a new theoretical picture of magnetically dominated, decaying turbulence in the
absence of a mean magnetic field. With direct numerical simulations, we demonstrate that …

Cosmic-void observations reconciled with primordial magnetogenesis

DN Hosking, AA Schekochihin - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
It has been suggested that the weak magnetic field hosted by the intergalactic medium in
cosmic voids could be a relic from the early Universe. However, accepted models of …

Parameter study of decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

A Armua, A Berera, J Calderón-Figueroa - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
It is well known that helical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence exhibits an inverse
transfer of magnetic energy from small to large scales, which is related to the approximate …

Lagrangian statistics of a shock-driven turbulent dynamo in decaying turbulence

JKJ Hew, C Federrath - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Small-scale fluctuating magnetic fields of order n G are observed in supernova shocks and

Dynamo effect in decaying helical turbulence

A Brandenburg, T Kahniashvili, S Mandal… - Physical Review …, 2019 - APS
We show that in decaying hydromagnetic turbulence with initial kinetic helicity, a weak
magnetic field eventually becomes fully helical. The sign of magnetic helicity is opposite to …

Inverse energy transfer in decaying, three-dimensional, non-helical magnetic turbulence due to magnetic reconnection

P Bhat, M Zhou, NF Loureiro - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com

energy in decaying, non-helical, magnetically dominated, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence …

Nonuniversality and finite dissipation in decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

MF Linkmann, A Berera, WD McComb, ME McKay - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
