Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present results from numerical simulations of dynamo action in relation with two magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) experiments using liquid sodium in cylindrical containers. The first one is the von Kármán sodium (VKS) experiment from Cadarache (France), the second one is a precession-driven dynamo experiment from the DREsden sodium facility for DYNamo and thermohydraulic studies (DRESDYN).
