Extended abstractHere we outline how asymptotic models may contribute to the investigation of mean field dynamos applied to the solar convective zone. We calculate here a spatial 2-D structure of the mean magnetic field, adopting real profiles of the solar internal rotation (the Ω-effect) and an extended prescription of the turbulent α-effect. In our model assumptions we do not prescribe any meridional flow that might seriously affect the resulting generated magnetic fields. We do not assume apriori any region or layer as a preferred site for the dynamo action (such as the overshoot zone), but the location of the α- and Ω-effects results in the propagation of dynamo waves deep in the convection zone. We consider an axially symmetric magnetic field dynamo model in a differentially rotating spherical shell. The main assumption, when using asymptotic WKB methods, is that the absolute value of the dynamo number (regeneration rate) |D| is large, i.e., the spatial scale of the solution is small. Following the general idea of an asymptotic solution for dynamo waves (e.g., Kuzanyan & Sokoloff 1995), we search for a solution in the form of a power series with respect to the small parameter |D|–1/3(short wavelength scale). This solution is of the order of magnitude of exp(i|D|1/3S), where S is a scalar function of position.

AbstractThis review is an attempt to elucidate MHD phenomena relevant for stellar magnetic fields. The full MHD treatment of a star is a problem which is numerically too demanding. Mean-field dynamo models use an approximation of the dynamo action from the small-scale motions and deliver global magnetic modes which can be cyclic, stationary, axisymmetric, and non-axisymmetric. Due to the lack of a momentum equation, MHD instabilities are not visible in this picture. However, magnetic instabilities must set in as a result of growing magnetic fields and/or buoyancy. Instabilities deliver new timescales, saturation limits and topologies to the system probably providing a key to the complex activity features observed on stars.
