The Magnetic Correlation Tensor in the Dynamo Theory

  • Published:
Computational Mathematics and Modeling Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We investigate a stochastic model of the galactic dynamo in the planar approximation, assuming that turbulent diffusivity is a renewal process. For linear and nonlinear modifications of this model, numerical methods are applied to construct statistical moments and correlation tensors of the magnetic field.
