Our understanding of the dynamics of the Earth's core can be advanced by a combination of
observation, experiments, and simulations. A crucial aspect of the core is the interplay …

We present new experimental results from the University of Maryland Three Meter
Geodynamo experiment. We drive a fully turbulent flow in water and also in sodium at …

The spherical Couette system, consisting of a viscous fluid between two differentially rotating
concentric spheres, is studied using numerical simulations and compared with experiments …

The spherical Couette system consists of two differentially rotating concentric spheres with
the space in between filled with fluid. We study a regime where the outer sphere is rotating …

A water-filled three-meter diameter spherical shell built as a model of the Earth's core shows
evidence of precessionally forced flows and, when spinning the inner sphere differentially …

This dissertation describes experiments in spherical Couette devices, using both gas and
liquid sodium. The experimental geometry is motivated by the Earth's outer core, the seat of …

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe and can be found in celestial bodies, galaxies,
stars including our Sun and planets like the Earth or Jupiter. Due to the fact that at least in …
