Mean-field dynamo theory has important applications in solar physics and galactic magnetism. We discuss some of the many turbulence effects relevant to the generation of …
Solar-type stars exhibit a rich variety of magnetic activity. Seeking to explore the convective origins of this activity, we have carried out a series of global three-dimensional …

Aims. We investigate dynamo action in global compressible solar-like convective dynamos in the framework of mean-field theory. Methods. We simulate a solar-type star in a wedge …
The excitation and further sustenance of large-scale magnetic fields in rotating astrophysical systems, including planets, stars, and galaxies, is generally thought to involve a fluid …
The role of turbulence in various astrophysical settings is reviewed. Among the differences to laboratory and atmospheric turbulence we highlight the ubiquitous presence of magnetic …
