On the genesis of the Earth's magnetism

PH Roberts, EM King - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Few areas of geophysics are today progressing as rapidly as basic geomagnetism, which
seeks to understand the origin of the Earth's magnetism. Data about the present …

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 …

On the thermal and magnetic histories of Earth and Venus: Influences of melting, radioactivity, and conductivity

P Driscoll, D Bercovici - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2014 - Elsevier
The study of the thermal evolution of Earth's interior is uncertain and controversial in many
respects, from the interpretation of petrologic observations used to infer the temperature and …

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
astrophysical and geophysical fluid systems. We construct a database of 74 three …

Oscillatory thermal–inertial flows in liquid metal rotating convection

T Vogt, S Horn, JM Aurnou - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2021 - cambridge.org
We present the first detailed thermal and velocity field characterization of convection in a
rotating cylindrical tank of liquid gallium, which has thermophysical properties similar to …

Onset of convection in rotating spherical shells: Variations with radius ratio

A Barik, SA Triana, M Calkins, S Stanley… - Earth and Space …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Convection in rotating spherical layers of fluid is ubiquitous in spherical astrophysical
objects like planets and stars. A complete understanding of the magnetohydrodynamics …

Heat transfer in rapidly rotating convection with heterogeneous thermal boundary conditions

JE Mound, CJ Davies - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
Convection in the metallic cores of terrestrial planets is likely to be subjected to lateral
variations in heat flux through the outer boundary imposed by creeping flow in the overlying …

On core convection and the geodynamo: Effects of high electrical and thermal conductivity

D Gubbins, D Alfè, C Davies, M Pozzo - Physics of the Earth and Planetary …, 2015 - Elsevier
Recent theory and experiment suggest the thermal and electrical conductivities of the Earth's
core are 2–4 times higher than previously thought. This has important consequences for the …

Detection of weak seismic sequences based on arrival time coherence and empiric network detectability: An application at a near fault observatory

GM Adinolfi, S Cesca, M Picozzi… - Geophysical Journal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
Temperature anomalies in Earth's liquid core reflect the vigour of convection and the nature
and extent of thermal core–mantle coupling. Numerical simulations suggest that longitudinal …
