Renormalization group analysis of the turbulent hydromagnetic dynamo: Effect of anisotropy

作者:

Highlights:

• The mean EMF in rapidly rotating MHD systems was obtained via renormalization.

• In weak rapidly rotating turbulence (linear evolution of fluctuations) the horizontal EMF dominates the vertical one.

• Only in strong turbulence (nonlinear evolution of fluctuations) the vertical and horizontal EMFs can become comparable.

• Hence in strong turbulence the α -effect can fully operate to amplify all the components of the mean magnetic field 〈B〉.

• Section 6 provides estimates of the electromotive force for natural and laboratory systems.
