This paper presents a numerical solution method for the nonlinear mean field dynamo equations in a rotating fluid spherical shell. A finite amplitude field drives a flow through the Lorentz force in the momentum equation and this flow feeds back on the field-generation process in the magnetic induction equation, equilibrating the field. This equilibration process is a key aspect of the full hydrodynamic dynamo as well as mean field dynamo. Including full inertial term we present pseudo-spectral time-stepping procedure to solve the coupled nonlinear momentum equation and induction equation with no-slip velocity boundary conditions in the core for a finitely conducting inner core and an insulating mantle. The method is found suitable for solving many geophysical problems.
