Nonlinear dynamo action in a precessing cylindrical containerDOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.84.016317 Abstract: It is numerically demonstrated by means of a magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code that precession can trigger the dynamo effect in a cylindrical container. This result adds credit to the hypothesis that precession can be strong enough to be one of the sources of the dynamo action in some astrophysical bodies.
