This book contains the lectures given at the workshop "Dynamo and
dynamics, a mathematical challenge" held in Cargese from August 21
to 26, 2000. The workshop differed from most previous conferences
on the dynamo effect in two important respects. First, it was at
this international conference that the experimental observation of
homogeneous fluid dynamos was first reported. Second, the
conference gathered scientists from very different fields, thus
showing that thepynamo problem has become an interdisciplinary
subject involving not only astrophysicists and geophysicists, but
also scientists working in dynamical systems theory, hydrodynamics,
and numerical simulation, as well as several groups in experimental
physics. This book thus reports important results on various dynamo
studies in these different contexts: - Decades after the discovery
of the first analytic examples of laminar fluid dynamos, the
self-generation of a magnetic field by a flow ofliquid sodium has
been reported by the Karlsruhe and Riga groups. Although there were
no doubts concerning the self generation by the laminar
Roberts-type or Ponomarenko-type flows that were used, these
experiments have raised interesting questions about the influence
of the turbulent fluctuations on the dynamo threshold and on the
saturation level of the magnetic field.
