GENERALIZATION OF COWLING THEOREM

An extension of Cowling's neutral point arguments shows that no axisymmetric poloidal magnetic field can be maintained by self-exciting dynamo action in an electrically-conducting fluid against the dissipative effects of Ohmic heating. This generalizes previous results to cases where the magnet...

description An extension of Cowling's neutral point arguments shows that no axisymmetric poloidal magnetic field can be maintained by self-exciting dynamo action in an electrically-conducting fluid against the dissipative effects of Ohmic heating. This generalizes previous results to cases where the magnetic field can be non-steady, the fluid compressible and the (scalar) coefficient of magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity dependent on position and time.-Authors
