Abstract EN
The debate on the role of Euler potentials (EP), α∇β, in the dynamo theory is a long-standing one.
It is known that the cross-product of gradients of two the potentials may represent magnetic fields lines.
However, 2D and 3D dynamo hydromagnetic simulations suggest that their utility as analogues of magnetic field potential is restricted.
This raises questions about their utility in the broader context of magneto-genesis and dynamo theories.
We reexamine this and find that a reinterpretation of such potentials offers a new insight into the role EP may play in the general evolution of magnetic fields.
