The Taylor–Green flow is a model flow sharing many properties with the von Kármán flow, in which experimental turbulent dynamo action has recently been achieved. We present here recent numerical results on the Taylor–Green dynamo instability, both in the linear and non-linear regime. Various properties are considered, such as the influence of turbulence, the energy transfer between different scales, the spatial structure of the neutral mode, the nature of the bifurcation and the saturation mechanisms. We also discuss the role of the velocity fluctuations on the dynamo onset.
Un écoulement turbulent forçé par un tourbillon de type Taylor–Green, partage de nombreuses propriétés avec l'écoulement de von Kármán dans lequel une dynamo turbulente a été récemment mise en évidence expérimentalement. Nous présentons des résultats récents de dynamos numériques engendrées par des tourbillons de Taylor–Green dans les régimes linéaire et non linéaire. Nous discutons certaines de ses propriétés comme l'influence de la turbulence, le transfert d'énergie entre différentes échelles, la structure du mode neutre, la nature de la bifurcation et les mécanismes de saturation. Nous discutons également le rôle joué par les fluctuations de vitesse sur le seuil de la dynamo.
