We add the $\alpha-$ effect in the dynamo driven accretion disk model proposed by Tout & Pringle (1992), i.e., a dynamo model depends on the physical processes such as Parker instability, Balbus-Hawley instability, magnetic field…

We supplement the mean field dynamo growth equation with the total magnetic helicity evolution equation. This provides an explicitly time dependent model for alpha quenching in dynamo theory. For dynamos without shear, this approach…

The transition to intermittent mean--field dynamos is studied using numerical simulations of isotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by a helical flow. The low-Prandtl number regime is investigated by keeping the kinematic viscosity…

Helicity and \alpha effect driven by the nonaxisymmetric Tayler instability of toroidal magnetic fields in stellar radiation zones are computed. In the linear approximation a purely toroidal field always excites pairs of modes with…

The role of shear in alleviating catastrophic quenching by shedding small-scale magnetic helicity through fluxes along contours of constant shear is discussed. The level of quenching of the dynamo effect depends on the quenched value of the…

The generation of large-scale magnetic fields is generically accompanied by the more rapid growth of small-scale fields. The growing Lorentz force due to these fields back reacts on the turbulence to saturate the mean-field and small-scale…

We present and analyze a simplified stochastic $\alpha \Omega -$dynamo model which is designed to assess the influence of additive and multiplicative noises, non-normality of dynamo equation, and nonlinearity of the $\alpha -$% effect and…

We investigate the interaction of a fluctuating alpha-effect with large-scale shear in a simple nonlinear 1-dimensional dynamo wave model. We firstly extend the calculations of Proctor (2007, MNRAS, 41, L39-L42) to include spatial variation…

As was demonstrated in earlier studies, turbulence can result in a negative contribution to the effective mean magnetic pressure, which, in turn, can cause a large-scale instability. In this study, hydromagnetic mean-field modelling is…

Accretion disks are likely threaded by external vertical magnetic flux, which enhances the level of turbulence via the magnetorotational instability (MRI). Using shearing-box simulations, we find that such external magnetic flux also…

Large scale dynamos produce small scale current helicity as a waste product that quenches the large scale dynamo process (alpha effect). This quenching can be catastrophic (i.e.intensify with magnetic Reynolds number) unless one has fluxes…
