Influence of global rotation and Reynolds number on the large-scale features of a turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
Florent Ravelet, Rene Delfos, Jerry Westerweel
We experimentally study the turbulent flow between two coaxial and independently rotating cylinders. We determined the scaling of the torque with Reynolds numbers at various angula…
Magnetic induction in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium: mean behaviour and slow fluctuations
F. Ravelet, R. Volk, A. Chiffaudel +10
We study the flow response to an externally imposed homogeneous magnetic field in a turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium -- the VKS2 experiment in which magnetic Reynolds numbe…
Generation of magnetic field by dynamo action in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium
R. Monchaux, M. Berhanu, M. Bourgoin +13
We report the observation of dynamo action in the VKS experiment, i.e., the generation of magnetic field by a strongly turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium. Both mean and fluct…
