Patterns of convection in rotating spherical shells
R. D. Simitev, F. H. Busse
Patterns of convection in internally heated, self-gravitating rotating spherical fluid shells are investigated through numerical simulations. While turbulent states are of primary…
Convection in Rotating Spherical Fluid Shells
F. H. Busse, R. D. Simitev
The chapter begins with a description of the annulus model of rotationg convection. The basic equations for the spherical problem are then introduced and the onset of columnar conv…
Some Unusual Properties of Turbulent Convection and Dynamos in Rotating Spherical Shells
F. H. Busse, R. D. Simitev
The dynamics of convecting fluids in rotating spherical shells is governed at Prandtl numbers of the order unity by the interaction between differential rotation and roll-like conv…
Planetary dynamos
F. H. Busse, R. D. Simitev
The theory of planetary dynamos and its applications to observed phenomena of planetary magnetism are outlined. It is generally accepted that convection flows driven by thermal or…
Inertial convection in rotating fluid spheres
F. H. Busse, R. D. Simitev
The onset of convection in the form of inertial waves in a rotating fluid sphere is studied through a perturbation analysis in an extension of earlier work by Zhang (1994). Explici…
Toroidal flux oscillation as possible cause of geomagnetic excursions and reversals
F. H. Busse, R. D. Simitev
It is proposed that convection driven dynamos operating in planetary cores could be oscillatory even when the oscillations are not directly noticeable from the outside. Examples of…
