Dynamo and the Adiabatic Invariant
arXiv:2108.11548 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ac448d
Abstract
The paper considers dynamo generated by a shallow fluid layer in a celestial body (planet or star). This dynamo is based on the extra invariant for interacting magnetic Rossby waves. The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is linearized on the background of strong toroidal magnetic field. The extra invariant is used to show that the background field is maintained.
