| Abstract: | Abstract High resolution numerical simulations extending those of Arnold and Korkina (1983) reveal the existence of at least two windows for kinematic dynamo action in a spatially periodic flow with chaotic streamlines. These occur at moderate magnetic Reynolds number R (8–18) and at high R (27 to 200 or more). |
