Mean Field Dynamo

Observational evidence, based both on spectroscopic Doppler imaging and long-term photometry, of strongly nonaxisymmetric spot distributions in magnetically very active late-type stars, with a special cyclic behaviour (the “flip-flop” effect), is presented. Theoretical implications of these results are discussed from the point of view of nonlinear mean-field dynamo theory.

Mean Field Dynamo

The idea behind the use of ensemble averaging and the finite magnetic energy method of van Geffen and Hoyng (1992) is briefly discussed. Applying this method to the solar dynamo shows that the turbulence — an essential ingredient of traditional mean field dynamo theory — poses grave problems: the turbulence makes the magnetic field so unstable that it becomes impossible to recognize any period.

Mean Field Dynamo

Abstract. In the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe an experiment has been constructed which demonstrates a homogeneous dynamo as is expected to exist in the Earth's interior. This experiment is discussed within the framework of mean-field dynamo theory. The main predictions of this theory are explained and compared with the experimental results. Key words.
