From Geostrophic to Magnetically-Damped Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Magnetoconvection
Tao Liu, Yufan Xu, Jewel A. Abbate +2
Understanding planetary core convection dynamics requires the study of convective flows in which the Coriolis and Lorentz forces attain a leading-order, so-called magnetostrophic b…
Diffusivity-Free Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection Experiments
Jewel A. Abbate, Yufan Xu, Tobias Vogt +3
Convection in planets and stars is predicted to occur in the "ultimate regime'' of diffusivity-free, rapidly rotating turbulence, in which flows are characteristically unaffected b…
Thermovelocimetric Characterization of Liquid Metal Convection in a Rotating Slender Cylinder
Yufan Xu, Jewel Abbate, Cy David +2
Rotating turbulent convection occurs ubiquitously in natural convective systems encompassing planetary cores, oceans, and atmospheres, as well as in many industrial applications. W…
Magneto-Stokes Flow in a Shallow Free-Surface Annulus
Cy S. David, Eric W. Hester, Yufan Xu +1
In this study, we analyse "magneto-Stokes" flow, a fundamental magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow that shares the cylindrical-annular geometry of the Taylor-Couette cell, but uses appl…
