Shear-driven magnetic buoyancy in the solar tachocline: Dependence of the mean electromotive force on diffusivity and latitude
Craig D. Duguid, Paul J. Bushby, Toby S. Wood
The details of the dynamo process that is responsible for driving the solar magnetic activity cycle are still not fully understood. In particular, whilst differential rotation prov…

Stratified Resistive Tearing Instability
Scott J. Hopper, Toby S. Wood, Paul J. Bushby
Resistive tearing instabilities are common in fluids that are highly electrically conductive and carry strong currents. We determine the effect of stable stratification on the tear…
