Bistable attractors in a model of convection-driven spherical dynamos
arXiv:1204.2316 · doi:10.1088/0031-8949/86/01/018409
Abstract
The range of existence and the properties of two essentially different chaotic attractors found in a model of nonlinear convection-driven dynamos in rotating spherical shells are investigated. A hysteretic transition between these attractors is established as a function of the rotation parameter \ttau. The width of the basins of attraction is also estimated.
