The investigation of magnetic phenomena on the Sun is confronted with the problem of turbulently moving electrically conducting media in rotating objects. One way of attacking this complicated problem, which was at first successful, was the development of mean-field magnetohydrodynamics, where the cooperative action of the small-scale turbulence was taken into account by certain average effects. The development of more and more powerful computers now offers possibilities of calculating the small-scale phenomena in a direct way. This paper is an attempt to compare these approaches, at least as far as there are comparable results.
