چکیده

The paper deals with a simple spherical mean–field dynamo model of α 2 –type in the case of high electrical conductivity. A spherically symmetric distribution of turbulent motions is assumed inside a spherical fluid body surrounded by free space, and some complete form of the corresponding mean electromotive force is taken into account. For a turbulence lacking reflectional symmetry finite growth rates of magnetic fields prove to be possible even in the limit of perfect conductivity, that is, the model corresponds to a fast dynamo. In accordance with the theorem by Bondi and Gold the dynamo–generated field is completely confined in the fluid body.

Generation of magnetic field energy, without mean field generation, is studied. Isotropic mirror-symmetric turbulence of a conducting fluid amplifies the energy of small-scale magnetic perturbations if the magnetic Reynolds number is high, and the dimensionality of space d satisfies 2.103 < d < 8.765. The result does not depend on the model of turbulence, incompressibility and isotropy being th...

We consider the back reaction of the mean magnetic field on the magnitude of the dynamo helicity coefficient α and obtain upper limits on its magnitude from the equation of magnetic helicity evolution. When gradients in the mean magnetic field vanish, the magnitude of the turbulent EMF, and thus the dynamo coefficient α, has a stringent upper limit that depends on the magnetic Reynolds number R...
