We show that at large magnetic Prandtl numbers, the Lorentz force does work on the flow at small scales and drives fluid motions, whose energy is dissipated viscously. This situation is opposite to that in a normal dynamo, where the flow…

We consider rotating, kinematic dynamos at low magnetic Prandtl number $Pm$. We show that the inclusion of rotation leads to an increase in spatio-temporal coherence and a modification of the turbulent spectrum. These effects make the flow…
