On the Transmission of Turbulent Structures across the Earth’s Bow Shock

TL;DR: In this paper , a combination of spacecraft observations and local numerical simulations is used to study the transmission of turbulent structures across the Earth's bow shock, revealing an increase of their magnetic helicity content in its downstream.

Anisotropy in MHD turbulence due to a mean magnetic field

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of anisotropy in an initially isotropic spectrum is studied numerically for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, due to the combined effects of an externally imposed dc magnetic field and viscous and resistive dissipation at high wave numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized magnetic helicity, large-scale magnetic field, and dynamo saturation

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the overall behavior in these extreme cases, as well as in intermediate cases, can be understood in terms of conservation of a generalized form of magnetic helicity; and a proper separation of scales.

The Evolution of Magnetic Helicity in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamics with a Mean Magnetic Field

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the evolution of magnetic helicity in the presence of a mean magnetic field and showed that the changes in the evolution from a purely incompressible model to a low Mach number compressible model can be observed.
