The Inverse Cascade of Magnetic Helicity
Wolf-Christian Müller
Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik
The inverse cascade of magnetic helicity in three-dimensional
magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is studied by means of high-resolution
direct numerical simulations (DNS) of decaying and small-scale-driven
turbulent flows. In the decaying case observed self-similar
inertial-range behavior of the magnetic helicity spectrum is
significantly different from the results of earlier two-dimensional
studies based on statistical closure models. The findings are explained
by a model based on the statistical eddy-damped quasi-normal Markovian
closure theory (EDQNM). It is shown that the inverse cascade of magnetic
helicity is governed by the chirality of the turbulent velocity field.
