摘要
In this paper, we study the correlation functions for magnetic energy and magnetic helicity generated by a small-scale dynamo mechanism in a mirror-asymmetric and isotropic turbulent conductive fluid. Solving the Kazantsev system for small-scale generation by an iterative approach, we restore the correlation functions in spatial and spectral representations. Studying scales of localisation and their dependence on magnetic Reynolds number, we propose approximate functions, which can be applied for energy and helicity in a spectral space. We show the absence of 3/2-spectrum for Kazantsev assumptions at and helicity sign changing at . Using our results and estimating the relation between helicity and energy at different scales, we speculate about what can be considered as a small scale in a spectral space, and how this scale can be connected with mean-field processes.
