| Sumari: | In this paper, we extend our previous template analysis of a self-exciting Faraday disc dynamo with a linear series motor to the case of a nonlinear series motor. This introduces two additional nonlinear symmetry-breaking terms into the governing dynamo equations. We investigate the consequences for the identification of a possible template on which the unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) lie. By computing Gauss linking numbers between pairs of UPOs, we show that their values are not incompatible with those for a template for the Lorenz attractor for its classic parameter values. © 2011 The Royal Society. |
