Abstract

In this paper we describe in detail spectral solution method for solving nonlinear mean field dynamo equations without inertial effects in a rapidly rotating spherical shell filled with electrically conducting fluid taken into account no-slip velocity boundary conditions in the core for a finitely conducting inner core and an insulating mantle. Sample results are provided for nonlinear alpha squared dynamos. The method is suitable for solving many geophysical, astrophysical and engineering problems.
