Popis: | Suggested approximation of a strong generation reduces the kinematic dynamo problem to one simple scalar equation which has a local analytical solution near the maximum of generation. For α-dynamo, the maximum is at the extremum of the α-effect. For αω-dynamo, it is at the extremum of the αω-effect, that is the product of α-effect and differential rotation. These dynamos are named ‘limited’ dynamos, because our parameter Q representing a generation regime tends to zero for α-dynamo and has an infinite limit for pure αω-dynamo. In a realistic situation, Q is not in any limit and there is αω-dynamo, which is well worth pursuing. |
