Zonal shear and super-rotation in a magnetized spherical Couette flow experiment
Daniel Brito, Thierry Alboussière, Philippe Cardin +6
We present measurements performed in a spherical shell filled with liquid sodium, where a 74 mm-radius inner sphere is rotated while a 210 mm-radius outer sphere is at rest. The in…
On the peculiar nature of turbulence in planetary dynamos
Henri-Claude Nataf, Nadège Gagnière
Under the combined constraints of rapid rotation, sphericity, and magnetic field, motions in planetary cores get organized in a peculiar way. Classical hydrodynamic turbulence is n…
Rapidly rotating spherical Couette flow in a dipolar magnetic field: an experimental study of the mean axisymmetric flow
Henri-Claude Nataf, Thierry Alboussiere, Daniel Brito +4
In order to explore the magnetostrophic regime expected for planetary cores, experiments have been conducted in a rotating sphere filled with liquid sodium, with an imposed dipolar…
Experimental study of super-rotation in a magnetostrophic spherical Couette flow
Henri-Claude Nataf, Thierry Alboussière, Daniel Brito +5
We report measurements of electric potentials at the surface of a spherical container of liquid sodium in which a magnetized inner core is differentially rotating. The azimuthal an…
