The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory
C. B. Forest, K. Flanagan, M. Brookhart +21
The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory (WiPAL) is a flexible user facility designed to study a range of astrophysically relevant plasma processes as well as novel geometries…
Taylor-Couette Flow of Unmagnetized Plasma
C. Collins, M. Clark, C. M. Cooper +6
Differentially rotating flows of unmagnetized, highly conducting plasmas have been created in the Plasma Couette Experiment. Previously, hot-cathodes have been used to control plas…
Observation of magnetocoriolis waves in a liquid metal Taylor-Couette experiment
M. D. Nornberg, H. Ji, E. Schartman +2
The first observation of fast and slow magnetocoriolis (MC) waves in a laboratory experiment is reported. Rotating nonaxisymmetric modes arising from a magnetized turbulent Taylor-…
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…
