Abstract
In strongly compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, obliqueness between the large-scale density gradient and magnetic field gives an electromotive force mediated by density variance (intensity of density fluctuation). This effect is named “magnetoclinicity”, and is expected to play an important role in large-scale magnetic-field generation in astrophysical compressible turbulent flows. Analysis of large-scale instability due to the magnetoclinicity effect shows that the mean magnetic-field perturbation is destabilised at large scales in the vicinity of strong mean density gradient in the presence of density variance.
