Abstract
The implication of the Biermann battery (BB) on turbulent magnetic field
amplification in colliding plasma jets produced by high-power lasers is studied
by using the FLASH code. It is found that the BB can play a significant role in
turbulent field amplification. The small scale fluid structures introduced by
turbulence can allow the BB to effectively amplify the magnetic field. When the
flow is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the magnetic field amplification
is shown to be greater than the case where the flow is parallel.
