Sustaining Earth's magnetic dynamo

M Landeau, A Fournier, HC Nataf, D Cébron… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2022 - nature.com
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

JM Aurnou, MA Calkins, JS Cheng, K Julien… - Physics of the Earth and …, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …

Development of magnetic liquid metal suspensions for magnetohydrodynamics

F Carle, K Bai, J Casara, K Vanderlick, E Brown - Physical Review Fluids, 2017 - APS
We demonstrate how to suspend various magnetic and nonmagnetic particles in liquid
metals and characterize their properties relevant to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The …

Tidal heating of Earth-like exoplanets around M stars: thermal, magnetic, and orbital evolutions

PE Driscoll, R Barnes - Astrobiology, 2015 - liebertpub.com
The internal thermal and magnetic evolution of rocky exoplanets is critical to their
habitability. We focus on the thermal-orbital evolution of Earth-mass planets around low …

Scaling laws in Rayleigh‐Bénard convection

M Plumley, K Julien - Earth and Space Science, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The heat transfer scaling theories for Rayleigh‐Bénard convection (RBC) are reviewed and
discussed for configurations with and without rotation and magnetic fields. Scaling laws are …

Dynamo effect in decaying helical turbulence

A Brandenburg, T Kahniashvili, S Mandal… - Physical Review …, 2019 - APS
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 …
