[New Concept]: Turbulent Dynamo

[EthanVishniac]

Describe the Concept

This term describes the generation of magnetic fields in turbulent media.

Concept Location

This is found in multiple locations. Turbulent dynamos operate in stars, galaxies, planets, and accretion disks.

Supporting Information

It's hard to know where to start. If I enter "abs:dynamo" on ADS I get 21,252 hits, almost all of which are turbulent dynamos. It's a general physical concept that applies to almost all cases of magnetic field generation in astrophysics.
