Some applications of rotating MHD
In this talk I will discuss some of my recent work about rotating MHD. They are the effect of Earth's precession on geodynamo, helical-wave dynamo to understand turbulent dynamo action, oblique rotator problem to understand the uniform rotation of solar radiative zone, and nonliner and magnetic effects on dynamical tide.
