The initial stage of the theory of the dynamo has experienced twists and turns. One hand, the people always meet some difficulties in looking for the model of dynamo. On the other hand, some people build up many negative theorem, and suggest that the maintenance of the dynamo effect is impossible, being called the theorem of none dynamo. In 1934, Cowling suggested that the axisymmetric movement of the fluids couldn't maintain the meridian magnetic field, is called the theorem of Cowling. Latter, the people put up many theories being similar to the theorem of Cowling, the study of the theory of dynamo is in the hot water. In this condition, some people guess that the existence of the model of the self-sustaining dynamo is impossible. Practically, the theory of none dynamo puts forward many restrictive conditions that contribute to build up reasonable model of the dynamo. In 1955, Parker suggested that the differential rotation and the small-scale circumfluence in the star can maintain the progress of the self-sustaining dynamo. It breaks the stalemate of the study of the theory of the dynamo, and lays the physics foundation of the model of the dynamo of the turbulence. In 1964, some scholars researched the progress of the approximately axisymmetric model of the dynamo in order to explain the universal magnetic field. In 1966, Steenbeck, Krause and Radler develop a set of theory of the dynamo about the turbulence by putting forward the theory of electrodynamics which is an important development in the theory. For several decades, the theory of the dynamo about turbulence gets the booming development, because it not only can explain the maintaining of the magnetic field of the earth, but also can explain the period variety of the sun and the progress of the magnetic field in the universe. But the theory of the dynamo about turbulence is built up in the foundation of the first order in a smooth condition, in this condition, they ignore many coupling progress of the turbulence, because the people can't study the essential of the turbulence clearly, some people put forward many doubt about the dynamo about turbulence, and also put forward some new theorem.Through several decades of development, the theory of dynamo as the explanation of the magnetic field in the universe is accepted widely. According to the ampere laws, the electricity can produce the magnetic field, since a majority of the material in the universe are ion, their movement correspond to electricity, also correspond to magnetic field. The suppositions that every according to this kind of way which assume that the movement of the electric material can produce magnetic field all belong to the theory of dynamo. At the early stage in 1919, Lamor suggested that the movement of the eddy around the sunpot could produce the magnetic field of sunpot. Although this theory is already abandoned, it educes many other theory of dynamo. The problem is that what form of the movement can produce stable magnetic field. In the past the people consider that the anomalous and disorderly turbulence can produce magnetic field, of course, this view can't make people convince. Think generally now, only the regular movement of the electrical material can produce magnetic field, but not all this kind of movement can produce magnetic field. For example, the movement of the axisymmetric electrical material can't maintain a stable magnetic field. In recent years, the theory of the dynamo avoid the mechanism of the theory of none dynamo and obtain an important development in the theory and application, but the biggest difficulty is that we have not yet study the essential of the turbulence clearly.In 1966, Stenbeck and Radler put forward the electrodynamic theory and develop a set of theory of the dynamo about the turbulence. The magnetic field can be divided into the azimuthal field and radial field, so we must build up a physics mechanism that can produce the two weights of the magnetic field. Parker suggest that the tiny material of plasmas is continue to expand in the ascendable progress in the inner of the sun while it is revolving by the effect of coriolis force. If the tiny material take the flow tube of the magnetic to move upwardly, the twist of tiny material is to convert the azimuthal field Bφto the radial field Br. The creation rate of B r is order to Bφ. Parker put the net effect of the convective tiny material to come down to add a electric field Eφ, namely Eφ=αBφ.On this foundation, Krause and Radler discuss the statistic stability and the dynamo effect produced by the small-scale turbulence in 1980, and obtain the physics meaning ofα. They suggest that theαeffect is the statistic property of the small-scale turbulence, in the condition that the flow speed is v in the big scale and the dissipation speedηis larger than the dissipation speed of the dynamics of the plasmas, the equation of the magnetic induction is:Obviously, for a axisymmetric flow, v0=Rω(R,ω)φ+ vr, when the equation of magnetic field write as B= B0(R,ω)φ+▽×(Ar (R,ω)φ, it can use two scalar equations of the dynamo instead of the equation of magnetic induction:In the right side of the equation (2) include two terms that can produce Bφfrom B r,but the first term in the right of equation (3) can produce B r from Bφ, the first term in the right of the equation (2) can be ignored when the rotation is tiny, so Bφand B r are produced only by theαeffect, the dynamo under this kind of condition is called the'α'-dynamo. If the rotation speed of the sun plasmas is so great as to ignore the second term in the right of equation (2), Bφand B r are maintained by differential rotation andαeffect, this kind of the dynamo is called'αω'-dynamo. On this foundation, the people obtain various of model of the dynamo by discuss the differential physics meaning ofα.So there are a lot of articles about the magnetic dynamo henceforth. In 1992, C. A. Tout and J. E. Pringle put forward a simple model of magnetic dynamo by applying the instability of the Parker, the instability of the Balbus-Hawley and the reconnection. While this article also put forward a model of dynamo by applying the above three principles, the difference is that we applying the Sweet-Parker reconnection contrast to the Petschek reconnection, and discuss that whether it can form a self-sustaining magnetic dynamo. Then we can conclude that it can form a self-sustaining magnetic dynamo in this condition, its form of solution is never steady but hovers round about the equilibrium values.
