We develop a quantitative relationship between magnetic diffusion and the level of randomness, or stochasticity, of the diffusing magnetic field in a magnetized medium. A general mathematical formulation of magnetic stochasticity in turbulence has been developed in previous work in terms of the L_{p} norm S_{p}(t)=1/2∥1-B[over ̂]_{l}·B[over ̂]_{L}∥_{p}, pth-order magnetic stochasticity of the stochastic field B(x,t), based on the coarse-grained fields B_{l} and B_{L} at different scales l≠L…

It is demonstrated that such a strong enhancement for ζ ≲ 1 that gives rise to very fast relaxation rates, is contributed by a new hyperfine interactions arising from the tilt itself.

In hydrodynamic turbulence, the kinetic energy injected at large scales cascades to the inertial range, leading to a constant kinetic energy flux. In contrast, in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)

The results support the well-founded yet partly overlooked picture in which magnetic reconnection in turbulent fluids occurs on a wide range of scales as a result of nonlinearities at large scales (turbulence inertial range) and nonidealities at small scales (dissipative range).

An important application of these results is the kinematic, fluctuation dynamo in nonhelical, incompressible turbulence at magnetic Prandtl number (Pr(m)) equal to unity, which demonstrates a strong similarity between the Pr(m)=1 and 0 dynamos.
