Universal Nonlinear Small-Scale Dynamo
  We consider astrophysically relevant nonlinear MHD dynamo at large Reynolds numbers (Re). We argue that it is universal in a sense that magnetic energy grows at a rate which is a constant fraction C_E of the total turbulent dissipation rate. On the basis of locality bounds we claim that this "efficiency of small-scale dynamo", C_E, is a true constant for large Re and is determined only by strongly nonlinear dynamics at the equipartition scale. We measured C_E in numerical simulations and observed a value around 0.05 in highest resolution simulations. We address the issue of C_E being small, unlike Kolmogorov constant which is of order unity.
