Simultaneous influence of helicity and compressibility on anomalous scaling of the magnetic field in the Kazantsev-Kraichnan model
2017
: Using the field theoretic renormalization group technique and the operator product expansion, the systematic investigation of the influence of the spatial parity violation on the anomalous scaling behavior of correlation functions of the weak passive magnetic field in the framework of the compressible Kazantsev-Kraichnan model with the presence of a large-scale anisotropy is performed up to the second order of the perturbation theory (two-loop approximation). The renormalization group analysis of the model is done and the two-loop explicit expressions for the anomalous and critical dimensions of the leading composite operators are found as functions of the helicity and compressibility parameters and their anisotropic hierarchies are discussed. It is shown that for arbitrary values of the helicity parameter and for physically acceptable (small enough) values of the compressibility parameter, the main role is played by the composite operators near the isotropic shell in accordance with the Kolmogorov's local isotropy restoration hypothesis. The anomalous dimensions of the relevant composite operators are then compared with the anomalous dimensions of the corresponding leading composite operators in the Kraichnan model of passively advected scalar field. The significant difference between these two sets of anomalous dimensions is discussed. The two-loop inertial-range scaling exponents of the single-time two-point correlation functions of the magnetic field are found and their dependence on the helicity and compressibility parameters is studied in detail. It is shown that while the presence of the helicity leads to more pronounced anomalous scaling for correlation functions of arbitrary order, the compressibility, in general, makes the anomalous scaling more pronounced in comparison to the incompressible case only for low-order correlation functions. The persistence of the anisotropy deep inside the inertial interval is investigated using the appropriate odd ratios of the correlation functions. It is shown that, in general, the persistence of the anisotropy is much more pronounced in the helical systems, while in the compressible turbulent environments this is true only for low-order odd ratios of the correlation functions.
