Research Abstract |
We propose the collision-less dark matter fluid turns into a turbulent state. We first derive Kolmogorov scaling laws from the gravitational Navier-Stokes equation. Then we apply this to several observations such as the scale-dependent velocity dispersion, mass-luminosity ratio, magnetic fields, and mass-angular momentum relation, power spectrum of density fluctuations. They all conclude a single value for a constant energy flow. On the other hand, we have proposed a coupled macro-spin model based on the idea that the whole dynamo mechanism is described by the coherent interactions of many local elements. This model describes polarity reversals and fluctuations of geomagnetism and also our Sun. Furthermore we have obtained a scaling relation for the magnetism for planets, satellites, and the Sun.
