Remarks on the stability of the Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with stress-free boundary conditions

J. -L. Guermond, J. Léorat, F. Luddens +1

The purpose of this note is to analyze the long term stability of the Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with the Coriolis force and the stress-free boundary condition. It is sho…

Influence of high permeability disks in an axisymmetric model of the Cadarache dynamo experiment

A. Giesecke, C. Nore, F. Stefani +5

Numerical simulations of the kinematic induction equation are performed on a model configuration of the Cadarache von-Kármán-Sodium dynamo experiment. The effect of a localized axi…

Instability of P-waves just below the transition region in a global solar wind simulation

R. Grappin, J. Léorat, R. Pinto +1

We investigate how wave propagation is modified by the presence of heat sources and sinks, in the simple 1D, hydrodynamical case, including chromosphere and solar wind. We integrat…

Ambivalent effects of added layers on steady kinematic dynamos in cylindrical geometry: application to the VKS experiment

F. Stefani, M. Xu, G. Gerbeth +4

The intention of the ''von Karman sodium'' (VKS) experiment is to study the hydromagnetic dynamo effect in a highly turbulent and unconstrained flow. Much effort has been devoted t…

Towards an experimental von Karman dynamo: numerical studies for an optimized design

Florent Ravelet, Arnaud Chiffaudel, François Daviaud +1

Numerical studies of a kinematic dynamo based on von Karman type flows between two counterrotating disks in a finite cylinder are reported. The flow has been optimized using a wate…
