Alfvén waves at low magnetic Reynolds number: Transitions between diffusion, dispersive Alfvén waves and nonlinear propagation
Samy Lalloz, Laurent Davoust, François Debray +1
This paper seeks whether Alfvén waves (AW) can be produced in laboratory-scale liquid metal experiments, \emph{i.e.} at low-magnetic Reynolds Number (). AW are incompressibl…

Magnetic Taylor-Proudman constraint explains the flows into the Tangent Cylinder
Alban Pothérat, Kélig Aujogue, François Debray
Tangent Cylinders (TCs) have shaped our understanding of planetary dynamos and liquid cores. The Taylor-Proudman Constraint (TPC) due to planetary rotation creates these imaginary…
