Abstract
The time dependence of the single mode hexagonal magnetoconvective system has been investigated numerically at high Rayleigh number. It is established that, in certain parameter ranges, the system has oscillatory solutions which not only have a periodic nature, but also develop into chaotic and intermittent solutions. Further, the system generates nonzero mean kinetic and magnetic helicity together with substantial magnetic field amplification. These features are shown to be maintained in time without any externally imposed rotation of the system.
