The Inverse Cascade and Nonlinear Alpha‐Effect in Simulations of Isotropic Helical Hydromagnetic Turbulence

The Inverse Cascade and Nonlinear Alpha‐Effect in Simulations of Isotropic Helical Hydromagnetic Turbulence

A numerical model of isotropic homogeneous turbulence with helical forcing is investigated. The resulting flow, which is essentially the prototype of the α2 dynamo of mean field dynamo theory, produces strong dynamo action with an additional large-scale field on the scale of the box (at wavenumber k = 1; forcing …
