Chaos in Nonlinear Dynamo Models

  • Conference paper
The Cosmic Dynamo

Abstract

Two nonlinear dynamos have been analyzed by numerical means: 3D-simulation of the magneto-hydrodynamic equations and qualitative analysis of a simplified low-dimensional mean field model. It turns out that both are capable of deterministic chaos in a certain parameter range. As the basic tool the calculation of Lyapunov exponents has been used.
