Saturation mechanism of the fluctuation dynamo in supersonic turbulent plasmas

A Seta, C Federrath - Physical Review Fluids, 2021 - APS
Magnetic fields in several astrophysical objects are amplified and maintained by a dynamo
mechanism, which is the conversion of the turbulent kinetic energy to magnetic energy. A …

Tearing instability and current-sheet disruption in the turbulent dynamo

AK Galishnikova, MW Kunz, AA Schekochihin - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Turbulence in a conducting plasma can amplify seed magnetic fields in what is known as the
