Simulations of the solar dynamo?Simulations of the solar dynamo?
• Tremendous stratification– Not only density, also scale height change
• Near-surface shear layer (NSSL) not resolved• Contours of cylindrical, not spoke-like• (i) Rm dependence (catastrophic quenching)
– Field is bi-helical: to confirm for solar wind
• (ii) Location: bottom of CZ or distributed– Shaped by NSSL (Brandenburg 2005, ApJ 625, 539)– Formation of active regions near surface

ComparisonComparison
• Field in solar wind is clearly bi-helical
• ...but not as naively expected
• Need to compare with direct and mean-field simulations

Self-assembly of a magnetic spot• Minimalistic model• 2 ingredients:
– Stratification & turbulence
• Extensions– Coupled to dynamo– Compete with rotation– Radiation/ionization

ConclusionsConclusions• Interest in predicting solar activity
• Cyclonic convection ( helicity)
• Near surface shear migratory dynamo
• Bi-helical fields, inverse cascade
• Solar wind also bi-helical field, but reversed
• Formation of active regions and sunspots by negative effective magnetic pressure inst.
