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.
