A Taylor-Couette Dynamo
Ashley P. Willis, Carlo F. Barenghi
Recent experiments have shown that it is possible to study a fundamental astrophysical process such as dynamo action in controlled laboratory conditions using simple MHD flows. In…
Magnetic instability in a sheared azimuthal flow
Ashley P. Willis, Carlo F. Barenghi
We study the magneto-rotational instability of an incompressible flow which rotates with angular velocity Omega(r)=a+b/r^2 where r is the radius and and b are constants. We fin…
Hydromagnetic Taylor--Couette flow: wavy modes
Ashley P. Willis, Carlo F. Barenghi
We investigate magnetic Taylor--Couette flow in the presence of an imposed axial magnetic field. First we calculate nonlinear steady axisymmetric solutions and determine how their…
Hydromagnetic Taylor--Couette flow: numerical formulation and comparison with experiment
Ashley P. Willis, Carlo F. Barenghi
Taylor--Couette flow in the presence of a magnetic field is a problem belonging to classical hydromagnetics and deserves to be more widely studied than it has been to date. In the…
