Fast and furious dynamo action in the anisotropic dynamo

F Plunian, T Alboussière - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
In the limit of large magnetic Reynolds numbers, it is shown that a smooth differential
rotation can lead to fast dynamo action, provided that the electrical conductivity or magnetic …

Dynamo action produced by an anisotropic rotor immersed in an electrically conducting medium at rest

F Plunian, T Alboussière - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
It is shown that the rotational motion of a cylindrical rotor immersed in an electroconducting
medium at rest can produce a dynamo effect, provided that the electrical conductivity or …

On the toroidal‐velocity antidynamo theorem under the presence of nonuniform electric conductivity

G Rüdiger, M Schultz - Astronomische Nachrichten, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Laminar electrically conducting Couette flows with the hydrodynamically stable quasi‐
Keplerian rotation profile and nonuniform conductivity are probed for dynamo instability. In …
