Abstract.
We discuss the consequence of nonlinear effects on the effective
magnetic field transport coefficients in a magnetofluid; such
transport effects lie at the heart of modern astrophysical dynamo
theoreis. The particular focus of our discussion is on the
distinction between fully turbulent and quasi-steady flows; we
show that these two types of flows both show suppression of
effective magnetic field transport, but are distinguishable by
the amplitude of the suppression effect: suppression is substantially
more profound in a fully turbulent flow.
