Preliminary results on a new Stretch-Twist-Fold (STF) kinematic model for fast dynamo are presented. The evolution is prescribed by equations that govern the simultaneous stretching, writhing and coiling of a magnetic flux-tube by diffeomorphism of the initial circular configuration. Simple estimates based on minimized magnetic energy show that exponential growth of the magnetic field is indeed possible.

Abstract

Preliminary results on a new Stretch-Twist-Fold (STF) kinematic model for fast dynamo are presented. The evolution is prescribed by equations that govern the simultaneous stretching, writhing and coiling of a magnetic flux-tube by diffeomorphism of the initial circular configuration. Simple estimates based on minimized magnetic energy show that exponential growth of the magnetic field is indeed possible.
