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…

To study the onset of a stationary dynamo in the presence of inner or outer walls of various electromagnetic properties, we propose a simple 1D-model in which the flow is replaced by an alpha effect. The equation of dispersion of the…
