Using the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations, we have numerically studied the dynamo effect in electrically conducting fluids. The necessary energy input into the system was modeled either by an explicit forcing term in the NavierStokes equation or fully selfconsistently by thermal convect

## Abstract We discuss nonlinear meanβfield galactic dynamo models and associate a universal mechanism for saturation of the dynamo with the transport of magnetic helicity. The crucial point for saturation of the dynamo is the existence of a nonβzero flux of magnetic helicity. We demonstrate that t
## Abstract Some common properties of helical magnetic fields in decaying and driven turbulence are discussed. These include mainly the inverse cascade that produces fields on progressively larger scales. Magnetic helicity also restricts the evolution of the largeβscale field: the field decays less
