Abstract

Studies the dynamo electric field along the equilibrium line in laboratory plasma devices arising from the correlation between the fluctuating flow velocity and magnetic field. Alpha effect that accounts for the dynamo current generation; Dynamo at low collisionality; Fluctuating velocity at high collisionality; Transport of magnetic helicity by dynamo activity.
