Can we understand this on basis of MHD? 11 / / 74

Theory of onset of dynamo action, but not for non-linear saturation More detailed discussion of induction equation 14 / 74 Ohm s law Ohm s law Equation of motion for drift velocity v d of electrons ( vd n e + v ) d = n e q e (E + v d B) p e τ ei τ ei : collision time between electrons and ions n e : electron density q e : electron charge : electron mass p e : electron pressure With the electric current: j = n e q e v d this gives the generalized Ohm s law: j + j τ ei = n eq 2 e E + q e j B q e p e Simplifications: τ ei ω L 1, ω L = eb/ : Larmor frequency neglect p e low frequencies (no plasma oscillations) 15 / 74 Simplified Ohm s law with the plasma conductivity j = σe σ = τ ein e q 2 e The Ohm s law we derived so far is only valid in the co-moving frame of the plasma. Under the assumption of non-relativistic motions this transforms in the laboratory frame to j = σ (E + v B) 16 / 74 Induction equation* Advection, diffusion, magnetic Reynolds number Using Ampere s law B = µ 0 j yields for the electric field in the laboratory frame leading to the induction equation with the magnetic diffusivity E = v B + 1 µ 0 σ B = E = (v B η B) η = 1 µ 0 σ.

Primordial field could have survived in radiative interior of sun, but convection zone has much shorter diffusion time scale 10 years (turbulent diffusivity) Mathematical definition of dynamo S bounded volume with the surface S, B maintained by currents contained within S, B r 3 asymptotically, = (v B η B) in S B = 0 outside S [B] = 0 across S B = 0 v = 0 outside S, n v = 0 on S and 1 E kin = 2 ϱv2 dv E max t S v is a dynamo if an initial condition B = B 0 exists so that E mag = 1 B 2 dv E min t 2µ 0 23 / / 74
5 Mathematical definition of dynamo Large scale/small scale dynamos Is this dynamo different from those found in powerplants? Decompose the magnetic field into large scale part and small scale part (energy carrying scale of turbulence) B = B + B0 : Z Z Emag = B dv + B dv. 2µ0 2µ0 Both have conducting material and relative motions (rotor/stator in powerplant vs. shear flows) Difference mostly in one detail: Dynamos in powerplants have wires (very inhomogeneous conductivity), i.e. the electric currents are strictly controlled Mathematically the system is formulated in terms of currents A short circuit is a major desaster! For astrophysical dynamos we consider homogeneous conductivity, i.e. current can flow anywhere Mathematically the system is formulated in terms of B (j is eliminated froquations whenever possible). A short circuit is the normal mode of operation! 2 Small scale dynamo: B B0 2 Large scale dynamo: B B 2 02 Almost all turbulent (chaotic) velocity fields are small scale dynamos for sufficiently large Rm, large scale dynamos require additional large scale symmetries (see second half of this lecture) Homogeneous vs. inhomogeneous dynamos 25 / 74 What means large/small in practice (Sun)? 26 / 74 What means large/small in practice (Sun)?

Due to mathematical simularity the equation: d B B = v % % has exponentially growing solutions, too. We neglected here η, exponentially growing solutions require Rm > O(100). 29 / / 74
