"Formation of large-scale inhomogeneous magnetic structures in a turbulent convection". N. Kleeorin (Ben-Gurion University of Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel) Abstract:  Magnetic fluctuations generated by a tangling of the mean magnetic field by velocity fluctuations are studied in a developed turbulent convection with large magnetic Reynolds numbers. We show that the energy of magnetic fluctuations depends on magnetic Reynolds number only when the mean magnetic field is smaller than $B_{\rm eq} / 4 {\rm Rm}^{1/4}$, where $B_{\rm eq}$ is the equipartition mean magnetic field determined by the turbulent kinetic energy and ${\rm Rm}$ is magnetic Reynolds number. Generation of magnetic fluctuations in a turbulent convection with a nonzero mean magnetic field results in a decrease of the total turbulent pressure and may cause formation of the large-scale inhomogeneous magnetic structures even in an originally uniform mean magnetic field. This effect is caused by a negative contribution of the turbulent convection to the effective mean Lorentz force. The inhomogeneous large-scale magnetic fields are formed due to the excitation of the large-scale instability. The energy for this instability is supplied by the small-scale turbulent convection. The discussed effects might be useful for understanding the origin of the solar nonuniform magnetic fields, e.g., sunspots.
