Abstract

For any smooth bounded domain ΩR3\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3, we construct a divergence-free velocity field uLt1W1,p(Ω)u \in L_t^1 W^{1,p}(\Omega) for all p<p < \infty, and magnetic fields BϵLtpCm(Ω)B^\epsilon \in L_t^p C^{m}(\Omega) for all p<p < \infty and mNm\in \mathbb{N}, that solve the kinematic dynamo equation and exhibit arbitrarily fast growth of any magnetic energy mode, uniformly in the vanishing-diffusivity limit ϵ0\epsilon \to 0. The construction is based on the convex integration scheme of Modena-Sz\'ekelyhidi and Cheskidov-Luo. The main novelty lies in the introduction of explicit potentials, which allow the solutions to be localized and avoid the need to work with the anti-curl operator. In addition, we present a unified scheme for the geometric transport equation (GTE), which encompasses both the transport and Maxwell equations.
