Laboratory experiments on dynamo action and magnetically triggered flow instabilities
F. Stefani, A. Gailitis, G. Gerbeth +4
Magnetic fields of planets, stars and galaxies are generated by self-excitation in moving electrically conducting fluids. Once produced, magnetic fields can play an active role in…
Self-excitation in a helical liquid metal flow: The Riga dynamo experiments
A. Gailitis, G. Gerbeth, Th. Gundrum +4
The homogeneous dynamo effect is at the root of magnetic field generation in cosmic bodies, including planets, stars and galaxies. While the underlying theory had increasingly flou…
Magnetic field dynamos and magnetically triggered flow instabilities
Frank Stefani, Thomas Albrecht, Rainer Arlt +13
The project A2 of the LIMTECH Alliance aimed at a better understanding of those magnetohydrodynamic instabilities that are relevant for the generation and the action of cosmic magn…
Energy oscillations and a possible route to chaos in a modified Riga dynamo
Frank Stefani, Agris Gailitis, Gunter Gerbeth
Starting from the present version of the Riga dynamo experiment with its rotating magnetic eigenfield dominated by a single frequency we ask for those modifications of this set-up…
Influence of electromagnetic boundary conditions onto the onset of dynamo action in laboratory experiments
R. Avalos-Zuniga, F. Plunian
We study the onset of dynamo action of the Riga and Karlsruhe experiments with the addition of an external wall, the electro-magnetic properties of which being different from those…
History and results of the Riga dynamo experiments
Agris Gailitis, Gunter Gerbeth, Thomas Gundrum +3
On 11 November 1999, a self-exciting magnetic eigenfield was detected for the first time in the Riga liquid sodium dynamo experiment. We report on the long history leading to this…
