Description

Dynamo or self-induced magnetic field generation in nature and laboratory is a very important area of research in physics, astrophysics, geophysics and solar physics. The problem has remained largely unsolved for a century due to its nonlinear nature. This field is multidisciplinary with active involvement from theoreticians, experimentalists, and computational scientists.  Considering the importance of this problem in various fields, a large number of complex large-scale simulations and experiments have been performed, which provide very valuable insights into dynamo mechanisms including dynamo reversals. Many simulations and several large-scale experiments have been planned for further exploration of dynamo processes.
