Extension of a multi-region free-surface MHD solver beyond the inductionless approximation
Min Ki Jung, Brian Wynne, Francisco Saenz +4
Free-surface liquid metal flows are a leading candidate for the plasma-facing components of future fusion reactors, but existing transient, three-dimensional, free-surface MHD solv…
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…
FreeMHD: validation and verification of the open-source, multi-domain, multi-phase solver for electrically conductive flows
Brian Wynne, Francisco Saenz, Jabir Al-Salami +5
The extreme heat fluxes in the divertor region of tokamaks may require an alternative to solid plasma-facing components, for the extraction of heat and the protection of the surrou…
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…
The Transition from Wall Modes to Multimodality in Liquid Gallium Magnetoconvection
Yufan Xu, Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Coupled laboratory-numerical experiments of Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in liquid gallium subject to a vertical magnetic field are presented. The experiments are carried out i…
Thermoelectric Precession in Turbulent Magnetoconvection
Yufan Xu, Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
We present laboratory measurements of the interaction between thermoelectric currents and turbulent magnetoconvection. In a cylindrical volume of liquid gallium heated from below a…
