Abstract: We give a review of self-organization phenomena of the macroscopic structures in nature which are caused by negative turbulent viscosity, the essence of which is the transfer of the energy of the helical turbulent motions from small eddies to large ones. The effect of the helical negative turbulent diffusion (small-scale α2-effect by Kraichnan) arising in the strong helical turbulent highly-conductive liquid in the large-scale inhomogeneous magnetic field is considered. The effect has the property to “pull” continuous magnetic field in the discrete structures. Our calculations for the two models of the solae convection zone showed that in the deep layers there are favorable conditions for the emergence of helical negative turbulent diffusion effect. Under the assumption that the lifetime of helical structures τ2 is equal to the lifetime of convective cells τ1, the calculated values of the coefficient of negative helical magnetic turbulent diffusion ηαΤ reach two-thirds of the positive value of the turbulent diffusion coefficient ηΤ . This would be favourable to the self-organization of the initially weak continuous magnetic fields in the thin isolated magnetic flux tubes. |
