Anisotropic turbulence in rotating magnetoconvection
Numerical simulations of the 3D MHD-equations that describe rotating magnetoconvection in a Cartesian box have been performed using the code NIRVANA. The characteristics of large-scale quantities like the turbulence intensity and the turbulent heat flux that are caused by the average action of the small-scale fluctuations are computed directly from the fluctuating primitive variables. and the e...
متن کاملRotating Magnetoconvection with Magnetostrophic Balance
The linear theory for the onset of convection in a rotating layer with an imposed vertical magnetic field is studied for large Taylor (Ta) and Chandrasekhar (Q) numbers. The velocity and magnetic field perturbations are in magnetostrophic balance. For small values of σ = ν/κ and ζ = η/κ, where ν, κ and η are the kinematic viscosity, and thermal and ohmic diffusivities, three oscillatory modes a...
متن کاملHexagonal Patterns in a Model for Rotating convection
We study a model equation that mimics convection under rotation in a fluid with temperaturedependent properties (non-Boussinesq (NB)), high Prandtl number and idealized boundary conditions. It is based on a model equation proposed by Segel [1965] by adding rotation terms that lead to a Kiippers-Lortz instability [Kuppers & Lortz, 1969] and can develop into oscillating hexagons. We perform a wea...
متن کاملGeodynamo α-effect derived from box simulations of rotating magnetoconvection
The equations for fully compressible rotating magnetoconvection are numerically solved in a Cartesian box assuming conditions roughly suitable for the geodynamo. The mean electromotive force describing the generation of mean magnetic flux by convective turbulence in the rotating fluid is directly calculated from the simulations, and the corresponding α-coefficients are derived. Due to the very ...
متن کاملStudies in Rotating Convection
This thesis presents an exploration and analysis of novel phenomena in RayleighBénard convection in a rotating cylinder using direct numerical simulation and equivariant bifurcation analysis. The numerical method used is a second order predictorcorrector method using Chebyshev collocation in the radial and axial directions and a Fourier-Galerkin discretization in the azimuthal direction. This n...
