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. Existing transient, three-dimensional, free-surface MHD solvers…

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…
