Simulating the generation of the solar toroidal magnetic field by differential rotation

Аннотация

Within the kinematic dynamo theory, we construct a mathematical model for the evolution of the solar toroidal magnetic field, excited by the differential rotation of the convective zone in the presence of a poloidal field of a relic origin. We use a velocity profile obtained by decoding the data of helioseismological experiments. For the model of ideal magnetic hydrodynamics, we calculate the latitudinal profiles of the increasing-with-time toroidal field at different depths in the solar convection zone. It is found that, in the region of differential rotation, the excited toroidal field shows substantial fluctuations in magnitude with depth. Based on the simulations results, we propose an explanation for the “incorrect polarity” of magnetic bipolar sunspot groups in solar cycles.
