describe the statistics of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence in spectral space, using a …

Variable energy flux in turbulence

MK Verma - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In three-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence forced at large length scales, a constant

Dynamo properties of the turbulent velocity field of a saturated dynamo

F Cattaneo, SM Tobias - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2009 - cambridge.org
In order better to understand how dynamo systems saturate, we study the kinematic dynamo
properties of velocity fields that arise from nonlinearly saturated dynamos. The technique is …

Helical shell models for MHD

T Lessinnes, F Plunian, D Carati - Theoretical and Computational Fluid …, 2009 - Springer
A shell model for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is derived directly from the dynamical
