Effects of conductivity jumps in the envelope of a kinematic dynamo flow

چکیده
This Note reports on numerical simulations of the kinematic dynamo action in a test flow modeling the Von Kármán Sodium (VKS) experiment performed at CEA-Cadarache. We show that the conductivity of the vessel greatly influences the critical magnetic Reynolds number. These effects are dramatically amplified as the ratio of the conductivity of the vessel to that of the sodium increases from 1 to 5. To cite this article: R. Laguerre et al., C. R.

Résumé Influence des discontinuités de conductivité dans l’enveloppe de l’écoulement d’une dynamo cinématique. Cette Note présente de nouveaux résultats sur l’influence de couches de conducteur sur le seuil de l’instabilité dynamo dans un écoulement simulant l’expérience Von Kármán Sodium (VKS) menée au CEA-Cadarache. Nous montrons que les effets d’une enveloppe statique sur le seuil d’instabilité sont amplifiés lorsque le rapport de conductivité de l’enveloppe sur celle du sodium passe de 1 à 5.

Integral Equations for Kinematic Dynamo Models
2 S u m m a r y : A new technique for the treatment of the kinematic dynamo problem is presented. The method is applicable when the dynamo is surrounded by a medium of nite conductivity and is based on a reformulation of the induction equation and boundary conditions at innnity into an integral equation. We show that the integral operator ^ I involved here is compact in the case of homogeneous ...
متن کاملEffect of Fatigue on Knee Kinematics During Countermovement Jumps in Female Students of Physical Education With Valgus Knee Deformity
Objectives: Skeletal-muscular disorders affect the biomechanics of the human body, especially the lower extremity, with a negative effect on the biomechanics of exercise. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fatigue on the kinematic variables of knee joints during countermovement jumps in female students of physical education with valgus knee deformity. Methods: Fifte...
متن کاملDipole-quadrupole degeneracy in kinematic dynamo models with homogeneous conductivity
We discuss and prove dipole-quadrupole degeneracy in kinematic dynamos with homogeneous conductivity and certain very natural symmetry properties. In the case of 2-dynamos, symmetric and antisymmetric modes have the same conditions of excitation and the same real growth rates. For non-vanishing velocity field, i. e. 2!-dynamos (including a possible poloidal flow), symmetric and antisymmetric mo...
متن کاملSimple laminar dynamos: from two rolls to one
The study of laminar flows with simple streamlines in conducting fluids that might support kinematic dynamo action has a long history. Early successful examples include the Gailitis (1970) dynamo, which has two meridional rolls. We show here that a single meridional roll, considered as a limit of a modified Gailitis-like dynamo, can also support kinematic dynamo action in a deep spherical shell...
متن کاملThe Axisymmetric Antidynamo Theorem Revisited
The axisymmetric kinematic dynamo problem is reconsidered and a number of open questions are answered. Apart from axisymmetry and smoothness of data and solution we deal with this problem under quite general conditions, i.e. we assume a compressible fluid of variable (in space and time) conductivity moving in an arbitrary (axisymmetric) domain. We prove unconditional, pointwise and exponential ...
