Influence of Rotation on Fingering Convection in Planetary Cores
Martin Gray, Celine Guervilly, Graeme Sarson
Stably stratified layers are thought to develop at the top of the liquid metallic cores of many terrestrial planets. We consider the case where the thermal gradient is stable but t…

The cross-over from viscous to inertial lengthscales in rapidly-rotating convection
Céline Guervilly, Emmanuel Dormy
Convection is the main heat transport mechanism in the Earth's liquid core and is thought to power the dynamo that generates the geomagnetic field. Core convection is strongly cons…
