Magnetic Correlation Studies: the Bryn Mawr Experiment and Simulaitons

We present spatial and temporal correlations of magnetic fluctuations to characterize the outer and inner scales of the magnetized plasma turbulence generated through the injection of helicity with a magnetized coaxial gun source into a flux conserving cylindrical wind-tunnel. Experimental results are shown and compared to resistive MHD simulations of an evolving magnetized plasma plume within a cylindrical wind-tunnel. The simulations run on the Bridges2 supercomputer using the Dedalus framework; an open-source and MPI-parallelized environment written in Python.
