The onset of a small-scale turbulent dynamo at low magnetic Prandtl numbers

We study numerically the dependence of the critical magnetic Reynolds number Rmc for the turbulent small-scale dynamo on the hydrodynamic Reynolds number Re. The turbulence is statistically homogeneous, isotropic, and mirror--symmetric. We are interested in the regime of low magnetic Prandtl number...
