Ocean dynamics of outer solar system satellites

KM Soderlund - Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Ocean worlds are prevalent in the solar system. Focusing on Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and
Ganymede, I use rotating convection theory and numerical simulations to predict ocean …

Regional stratification at the top of Earth's core due to core–mantle boundary heat flux variations

J Mound, C Davies, S Rost, J Aurnou - Nature Geoscience, 2019 - nature.com
Earth's magnetic field is generated by turbulent motion in its fluid outer core. Although the
bulk of the outer core is vigorously convecting and well mixed, some seismic, geomagnetic …

Scaling behaviour in spherical shell rotating convection with fixed-flux thermal boundary conditions

RS Long, JE Mound, CJ Davies… - Journal of Fluid …, 2020 - cambridge.org
Bottom-heated convection in rotating spherical shells provides a simple analogue for many

Europa's Ocean Translates Interior Tidal Heating Patterns to the Ice‐Ocean Boundary

DG Lemasquerier, CJ Bierson, KM Soderlund - AGU Advances, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The circulation in Europa's ocean determines the degree of thermal, mechanical and
chemical coupling between the ice shell and the silicate mantle. Using global direct …

Fingering convection in the stably stratified layers of planetary cores

C Guervilly - Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Stably stratified layers may be present at the top of the electrically conducting fluid layers of
many planets either because the temperature gradient is locally subadiabatic or because a …
