Flux-Transport Solar Dynamos
Large-scale solar dynamo models were first built by Parker (1955). Over the past half a century these models have evolved significantly. We discuss here the development of a class of large-scale dynamo models which include, along with the α-effect and Ω-effect, an important third process, flux transport by meridional circulation. We present the properties of this ‘flux-transport’ dynamo, includ...
متن کاملThe effects of flux transport on interface dynamos
The operation of an interface dynamo (as has been suggested for the Sun and other stars with convective envelopes) relies crucially upon the effective transport of magnetic flux between two spatially disjoint generation regions. In the simplest models communication between the two regions is achieved solely by diffusion. Here we incorporate a highly simplified anisotropic transport mechanism in...
متن کاملMagnetic helicity fluxes in interface and flux transport dynamos
Context. Dynamos in the Sun and other bodies tend to produce magnetic fields that possess magnetic helicity of opposite sign at large and small scales, respectively. The build-up of magnetic helicity at small scales provides an important saturation mechanism. Aims. In order to understand the nature of the solar dynamo we need to understand the details of the saturation mechanism in spherical ge...
متن کاملTurbulent dynamos with advective magnetic helicity flux
Many astrophysical bodies harbour magnetic fields that are thought to be sustained by a dynamo process. However, it has been argued that the production of large-scale magnetic fields by meanfield dynamo action is strongly suppressed at large magnetic Reynolds numbers owing to the conservation of magnetic helicity. This phenomenon is known as catastrophic quenching. Advection of magnetic fields ...
متن کاملMagnetic Flux Transport at the Solar Surface
After emerging to the solar surface, the Sun’s magnetic field displays a complex and intricate evolution. The evolution of the surface field is important for several reasons. One is that the surface field, and its dynamics, sets the boundary condition for the coronal and heliospheric magnetic fields. Another is that the surface evolution gives us insight into the dynamo process. In particular, ...
