The Role of Helical and Non-Helical Drives on the evolution of Self-Consistent Dynamos

Shishir Biswas, Rajaraman Ganesh

In the self-consistent dynamo limit, the magnetic feedback on the velocity field is sufficiently strong to induce a change in the topology of the magnetic field. Consequently, the…
