AbstractThe brilliant outcome of some 30 years of helioseismology spreads over a wide range of topics. Some highlights relevant to the cause of the solar activity cycle are listed up. The rotation profile in the solar convective zone is discussed as an important source of the dynamo mechanism. The kinematic dynamo model is described in the linear approximation, and the condition for the solar type dynamo is derived. It is shown that comparison of this condition with the rotation profile determined from helioseismology is useful to identify the possible seats of the dynamo.

The simplest case of the nonlinear turbulent dynamo mechanism is proposed. It is shown that under certain conditions the generated mean magnetic field can become stronger than the small-scale one. Some manifestations (the model of Cyg X-1 bimodal behaviour, asymmetric accretion onto the magnetized rotating compact star) of this mean field are discussed.

The dynamo mechanism in an RFP is explained on the basis of new terms in the MHD equations which are proportional to the electron mass and are traditionally neglected. A new azimuthal dynamo current is obtained which is shown to be positive definite. Sustained, spontaneous self-reversal of the toroidal field naturally follows from this. The (F, Θ) curve calculated from this theory under certain assumptions agrees well with experimental data. The theory predicts the presence of large-Larmor-radius particles in the RFP. It also predicts a spontaneous axial magnetic field in linear Z-pinches. Preliminary experiments on low-energy Z-pinches corroborate this prediction.

AbstractA dynamo is a process by which fluid motions sustain magnetic fields against dissipative effects. Dynamos occur naturally in many astrophysical systems. Theoretically, we have a much more robust understanding of the generation and maintenance of magnetic fields at the scale of the fluid motions or smaller, than that of magnetic fields at scales much larger than the local velocity. Here, via numerical simulations, we examine one example of an “essentially nonlinear” dynamo mechanism that successfully maintains magnetic field at the largest available scale (the system scale) without cascade to the resistive scale. In particular, we examine whether this new type of dynamo at the system scale is still effective in the presence of other smaller-scale dynamics (turbulence).
