Magnetic field dynamos and magnetically triggered flow instabilities

Frank Stefani, Thomas Albrecht, Rainer Arlt +13

The project A2 of the LIMTECH Alliance aimed at a better understanding of those magnetohydrodynamic instabilities that are relevant for the generation and the action of cosmic magn…

Stability and instability of hydromagnetic Taylor-Couette flows

Günther Rüdiger, Marcus Gellert, Rainer Hollerbach +2

Decades ago S. Lundquist, S. Chandrasekhar, P.H. Roberts and R. J.~Tayler first posed questions about the stability of Taylor-Couette flows of conducting material under the influen…

Laboratory experiments and numerical simulations on magnetic instabilities

F. Stefani, M. Gellert, Ch. Kasprzyk +3

Magnetic fields of planets, stars and galaxies are generated by self-excitation in moving electrically conducting fluids. Once produced, magnetic fields can play an active role in…

The stratorotational instability of Taylor-Couette flows of moderate Reynolds numbers

G. Rüdiger, T. Seelig, M. Schultz +3

In view of new experimental data the instability against adiabatic nonaxisymmetric perturbations of a Taylor-Couette flow with an axial density stratification is considered in depe…

Angular momentum transport efficiency in post-main sequence low-mass stars

F. Spada, M. Gellert, R. Arlt +1

Context. Using asteroseismic techniques, it has recently become possible to probe the internal rotation profile of low-mass (~1.1-1.5 Msun) subgiant and red giant stars. Under the…

Nonaxisymmetric MHD instabilities of Chandrasekhar states in Taylor-Couette geometry

M. Gellert, G. Rüdiger, M. Schultz +2

We consider axially periodic Taylor-Couette geometry with insulating boundary conditions. The imposed basic states are so-called Chandrasekhar states, where the azimuthal flow $U_ϕ…
