Speaker

Prof. Igor Rogachevskii (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev)

Description

Different mean-field approaches, ranges of validity of the approaches, approximations, different models of the background turbulence are described. Role of budget equations in the mean-field theory is considered. Open questions in the mean-field dynamo theory are discussed. Different problems, e.g., large-scale shear dynamos, dynamos in turbulence with cosmic rays, dynamo in turbulent convection, etc. are discussed.
