Thermoelectric effects and magnetic field amplification in magnetogasdynamic turbulenceIt will be shown that thermoelectric effects amplify magnetic fields in compressible magnetogasdynamic turbulence (though not nearly as much as occurs across a curved reently bowshock). The importance of this result lies in the recognition that thermoelectric effects (in addition to kinetic effects) provide a real mechanism for the amplification of magnetic field strength (and total energy dissipation through ohmic losses) in a compressible, turbulent plasma.
