Transfer functions extracted from the convection zone on the 512³ grid and averaged over the kinematic stage of the dynamo. The panel on the left shows the transfer rates from the kinetic (K) to the magnetic (B) energy reservoir, whereas the panel on the right shows magnetic-to-kinetic energy transfer rates. The time averaging was performed such that, at each time t, all the transfer curves were rescaled by the maximum value of T_KBS(k_h). The resulting curves were then averaged over the time interval t ∈ (1.5τ_conv, 3τ_conv). Dashed lines represent negative transfer rates, while solid lines are used for positive rates.
