Resistive and ferritic-wall plasma dynamos in a sphere
I. V. Khalzov, B. P. Brown, E. J. Kaplan +5
We numerically study the effects of varying electric conductivity and magnetic permeability of the bounding wall on a kinematic dynamo in a sphere for parameters relevant to Madiso…
Observation of a Free-Shercliff-Layer Instability in Cylindrical Geometry
Austin Roach, Erik Spence, Christophe Gissinger +4
We report on observations of a free-Shercliff-layer instability in a Taylor-Couette experiment using a liquid metal over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, . The f…
A Spherical Plasma Dynamo Experiment
E. J. Spence, K. Reuter, C. B. Forest
We propose a plasma experiment to be used to investigate fundamental properties of astrophysical dynamos. The highly conducting, fast-flowing plasma will allow experimenters to exp…
Turbulent Diamagnetism in Flowing Liquid Sodium
E. J. Spence, M. D. Nornberg, C. M. Jacobson +4
The nature of Ohm's law is examined in a turbulent flow of liquid sodium. A magnetic field is applied to the flowing sodium, and the resulting magnetic field is measured. The mean…
Intermittent magnetic field excitation by a turbulent flow of liquid sodium
M. D. Nornberg, E. J. Spence, R. D. Kendrick +2
The magnetic field measured in the Madison Dynamo Experiment shows intermittent periods of growth when an axial magnetic field is applied. The geometry of the intermittent field is…
Numerical simulations of current generation and dynamo excitation in a mechanically-forced, turbulent flow
R. A. Bayliss, C. B. Forest, M. D. Nornberg +2
The role of turbulence in current generation and self-excitation of magnetic fields has been studied in the geometry of a mechanically driven, spherical dynamo experiment, using a…
