Nonlinear dynamo action in a precessing cylindrical container
arXiv:1102.1846 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.84.016317
Abstract
It is numerically demonstrated by means of a magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code that precession can trigger the dynamo effect in a cylindrical container. This result adds credit to the hypothesis that precession can be strong enough to be one of the sources of the dynamo action in some astrophysical bodies.
