Dynamics of Axisymmetric Truncated Dynamo Models
S u m m a r y : An important question regarding the study of mean field dynamo models is how to make precise the nature of their underlying dynamics. This is difficult both because relatively little is known about the dynamical behaviour of infinite dimensional systems and also due to the numerical cost of studying the related partial differential equations. As a first step towards their unders...
متن کاملGrand minima and equatorial symmetry breaking in axisymmetric dynamo models
Weconsider themanner inwhich time-periodic solutions of an axisymmetric dynamo model can undergo breaking of equatorial symmetry, i.e. loss of pure dipolar or quadrupolar symmetry. By considering the symmetry group underlying the solutions, we show that the fluctuations responsible for the symmetry-breaking can be constrained such that they are in resonance with the former solution. They can th...
متن کاملTopology and field strength in spherical, anelastic dynamo simulations
Context. Numerical modelling of convection driven dynamos in the Boussinesq approximation revealed fundamental characteristics of the dynamo-generated magnetic fields and the fluid flow. Because these results were obtained for an incompressible fluid of constant density, their validity for gas planets and stars remains to be assessed. A common approach is to take some density stratification int...
متن کاملMixed-parity Solutions in a Mean-field Dynamo Model
S u m m a r y : We consider the effect of including both dipole and quadrupole parities in the previous mean-field model of Hollerbach and Jones (1995), which considered dipole parity only. Allowing for both parities, we find that the onset of dynamo action occurs at a0 « 6, in the form of a purely quadrupolar dynamo wave. A symmetry-breaking bifurcation then occurs at ao « 11, beyond which the...
متن کاملMean-field helicity in random α-dynamo twisted flows
Recent results by Shukurov, Stepanov and Sokoloff [Phys. Rev. E 78,025301,(2008)] on dynamo action in Moebius strip flows, indicate that strong magnetic fields appear in regions where, electric current and flow kinetic helicities have the same sign. Here, an analytical version of their numerical result is obtained by a simpler method of considering the laminar non-turbulent limit, of a twisted ...
