摘要
It is found that for Taylor numbers of the order 10(8) quadrupolar dynamos aligned with the axis of rotation are preferred in comparison with dipolar dynamos. This preference holds for a range of Prandtl numbers P and magnetic Prandtl numbers P-m in the neighborhood of unity. The main time-dependent feature of the quadrupolar dynamos are polward traveling waves. [S1063-651X(99)50111-6].
