Dynamo threshold detection in the von Kármán sodium experiment.
Predicting dynamo self-generation in liquid metal experiments has been an ongoing question for many years. In contrast to simple dynamical systems for which reliable techniques have been developed, the ability to predict the dynamo capacity of a flow and the estimate of the corresponding critical value of the magnetic Reynolds number (the control parameter of the instability) has been elusive, ...
متن کاملRole of boundary conditions in helicoidal flow collimation: Consequences for the von Kármán sodium dynamo experiment.
We present hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of liquid sodium flow with the PLUTO compressible MHD code to investigate influence of magnetic boundary conditions on the collimation of helicoidal motions. We use a simplified cartesian geometry to represent the flow dynamics in the vicinity of one cavity of a multiblades impeller inspired by those used in the Von-Kármán-sodium...
متن کاملMean-field model of the von Kármán sodium dynamo experiment using soft iron impellers.
It has been observed that dynamo action occurs in the von-Kármán-Sodium (VKS) experiment only when the rotating disks and the blades are made of soft iron. The purpose of this paper is to numerically investigate the role of soft iron in the VKS dynamo scenario. This is done by using a mean-field model based on an axisymmetric mean flow, a localized permeability distribution, and a localized α e...
متن کاملOFFPRINT Direct numerical simulation of the axial dipolar dynamo in the Von Kármán Sodium experiment
For the first time, a direct numerical simulation of the incompressible, fully nonlinear, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations for the Von Kármán Sodium (VKS) experiment is presented with the two counter-rotating impellers realistically represented. Dynamo thresholds are obtained for various magnetic permeabilities of the impellers and it is observed that the threshold decreases as the magnetic ...
متن کاملSuperfluid high REynolds von Kármán experiment.
The Superfluid High REynolds von Kármán experiment facility exploits the capacities of a high cooling power refrigerator (400 W at 1.8 K) for a large dimension von Kármán flow (inner diameter 0.78 m), which can work with gaseous or subcooled liquid (He-I or He-II) from room temperature down to 1.6 K. The flow is produced between two counter-rotating or co-rotating disks. The large size of the e...
