Nonhelical Inverse Transfer of a Decaying Turbulent Magnetic Field
Nonhelical Inverse Transfer of a Decaying Turbulent Magnetic Field
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, cosmology, and fusion plasmas. Using high resolution direct numerical simulations of magnetically dominated self-similarly decaying MHD turbulence, we report a similar inverse transfer even in …
