Helicity-vorticity turbulent pumping of magnetic fields in the solar dynamo
Abstract
The interaction of helical convective motions and differential rotation in the solar convection zone results in turbulent drift of a large-scale magnetic field. We discuss the pumping mechanism and its impact on the solar dynamo.
