In this paper we discuss the sign of helicity in the $\alpha$-$\Omega$ dynamo and propose a wave-$\Omega$ model in which the $\alpha$ effect in the geodynamo is induced by helical wave but not helical flow as in the solar dynamo. We then…

In helical hydromagnetic turbulence with an imposed magnetic field (which is constant in space and time) the magnetic helicity of the field within a periodic domain is no longer an invariant of the ideal equations. Alternatively, there is a…
