Dynamo Theory, Nonlinear Magnetic Fields, and the Euler Potentials
The debate on the role of Euler potentials (EP), α∇β, in the dynamo theory is a long-standing one. It is known that the cross-product of gradients of two the potentials may represent magnetic fields lines. However, 2D and 3D dynamo hydromagnetic simulations suggest that their utility as analogues of...
