Sustaining Earth's magnetic dynamo
Earth's magnetic field is generated by fluid motions in the outer core. This geodynamo has
operated for over 3.4 billion years. However, the mechanism that has sustained the …

Rotating convective turbulence in Earth and planetary cores
An accurate description of turbulent core convection is necessary in order to build robust
models of planetary core processes. Towards this end, we focus here on the physics of …

Dynamo effect in decaying helical turbulence
We show that in decaying hydromagnetic turbulence with initial kinetic helicity, a weak
magnetic field eventually becomes fully helical. The sign of magnetic helicity is opposite to …
