Cylindrical Anisotropic Α 2 Dynamos
We explore the influence of geometry variations on the structure and the time-dependence of the magnetic field that is induced by kinematic α 2 dynamos in a finite cylinder. The dynamo action is due to an anisotropic α effect which can be derived from an underlying columnar flow. The investigated geometry variations concern, in particular, the aspect ratio of height to radius of the cylinder, a...
متن کاملTopology and existence of 3D anisotropic filamentary kinematic dynamos
Curvature and helicity topological bounds for the magnetic energy of the streamlines magnetic structures of a kinematic dynamo flow are computed. The existence of the filament dynamos are determined by solving the magnetohydrodynamic equations for 3D flows and the solution is used to determine these bounds. It is shown that in the limit of zero resistivity filamentary dynamos always exists in t...
متن کاملDynamos with different formulations of a dynamic α–effect
We investigate the behaviour of αΩ dynamos with a dynamic α, whose evolution is governed by the imbalance between a driving and a damping term. We focus on truncated versions of such dynamomodels which are often studied in connection with solar and stellar variability. Given the approximate nature of such models, it is important to study how robust they are with respect to reasonable changes in...
متن کاملGrowth rate degeneracies in kinematic dynamos.
We consider the classical problem of kinematic dynamo action in simple steady flows. Due to the adjointness of the induction operator, we show that the growth rate of the dynamo will be exactly the same for two types of magnetic boundary conditions: the magnetic field can be normal (infinite magnetic permeability, also called pseudovacuum) or tangent (perfect electrical conductor) to the bounda...
متن کاملAxisymmetric mean field dynamos with dynamic and algebraic α-quenchings
We study axisymmetric mean field spherical and spherical shell dynamo models, with both dynamic and algebraic α-quenchings. Our results show that there are qualitative as well as quantitative differences and similarities between these models. Regarding similarities, both groups of models exhibit symmetric, antisymmetric and mixed modes of behaviour. As regards differences, the important feature...
