Magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) dynamos emerge in many different astrophysical situations where turbulence is present, but the interaction between large-scale (LSD) and small-scale dynamos (SSD) is not fully understood. We performed a systematic study of turbulent dynamos driven by isotropic forcing in isothermal MHD with magnetic Prandtl number of unity, focusing on the exponential growth stage. Both helical and non-helical forcing was employed to separate the effects of LSD and SSD in a periodic domain. Reynolds numbers (Rm) up to $approx 250$ were examined and multiple resolutions used for convergence checks. We ran our simulations with the Astaroth code, designed to accelerate 3D stencil computations on graphics processing units (GPUs) and to employ multiple GPUs with peer-to-peer communication. We observed a speedup of $approx 35$ in single-node performance compared to the widely used multi-CPU MHD solver Pencil Code. We estimated the growth rates both from the averaged magnetic fields and their power spectra. At low Rm, LSD growth dominates, but at high Rm SSD appears to dominate in both helically and non-helically forced cases. Pure SSD growth rates follow a logarithmic scaling as a function of Rm. Probability density functions of the magnetic field from the growth stage exhibit SSD behaviour in helically forced cases even at intermediate Rm. We estimated mean-field turbulence transport coefficients using closures like the second-order correlation approximation (SOCA). They yield growth rates similar to the directly measured ones and provide evidence of $alpha$ quenching. Our results are consistent with the SSD inhibiting the growth of the LSD at moderate Rm, while the dynamo growth is enhanced at higher Rm.
The reliability of cardiovascular computational models depends on the accurate solution of the hemodynamics, the realistic characterization of the hyperelastic and electric properties of the tissues along with the correct description of their interac
Small-scale dynamo action is often held responsible for the generation of quiet-Sun magnetic fields. We aim to determine the excitation conditions and saturation level of small-scale dynamos in non-rotating turbulent convection at low magnetic Prandt
Stellar radiative zones are typically assumed to be motionless in standard models of stellar structure but there is sound theoretical and observational evidence that this cannot be the case. We investigate by direct numerical simulations a three-dime
Understanding mixing and transport of passive scalars in active fluids is important to many natural (e.g. algal blooms) and industrial (e.g. biofuel, vaccine production) processes. Here, we study the mixing of a passive scalar (dye) in dilute suspens
We present the results of large scale simulations of 4th order nonlinear partial differential equations of dif- fusion type that are typically encountered when modeling dynamics of thin fluid films on substrates. The simulations are based on the alte
