Abstract

We study axisymmetric mean-field dynamo models containing differential rotation, the α\alpha effect and the additional turbulent induction effects. The additional effects result from the combined action of rotation and an inhomogeneity of the large-scale magnetic field. The best known of them is the Ω×J\vec{\Omega}\times\vec{J} effect. We also include anisotropic diffusion and a new dynamo term which is of third order in the rotation vector Ω\vec{\Omega} The model calculations are carried out using the rotation profile of the Sun as obtained from helioseismic measurements and radial profiles of other quantities according to a standard model of the solar interior. In addition, we consider a dynamo model for a full sphere which is solely based on the joint induction effects of rotation and an inhomogeneity of the large-scale magnetic field, without differential rotation and the α\alpha effect (a δ2\delta^{2} dynamo model). This kind of dynamo model may be relevant for fully convective stars.
