Elastohydrodynamic Synchronization of Adjacent Beating Flagella

Raymond E. Goldstein, Eric Lauga, Adriana I. Pesci +1

It is now well established that nearby beating pairs of eukaryotic flagella or cilia typically synchronize in phase. A substantial body of evidence supports the hypothesis that hyd…

Growth rate degeneracies in kinematic dynamos

B. Favier, M. R. E. Proctor

We consider the classical problem of kinematic dynamo action in simple steady flows. Due to the adjointness of the induction operator, we show that the growth rate of the dynamo wi…

The Effect of Velocity Shear on Dynamo Action Due to Rotating Convection

D. W. Hughes, M. R. E. Proctor

Recent numerical simulations of dynamo action resulting from rotating convection have revealed some serious problems in applying the standard picture of mean field electrodynamics…

Magnetic buoyancy instabilities in the presence of magnetic flux pumping at the base of the solar convection zone

Adrian J. Barker, Lara J. Silvers, Michael R. E. Proctor +1

We perform idealised numerical simulations of magnetic buoyancy instabilities in a model of the solar tachocline. We introduce a simplified model of magnetic flux pumping in an upp…

The alpha-effect in rotating convection: a comparison of numerical simulations

D. W. Hughes, M. R. E. Proctor, F. Cattaneo

Numerical simulations are an important tool in furthering our understanding of turbulent dynamo action, a process that occurs in a vast range of astrophysical bodies. It is importa…

Effects of alpha-effect fluctuations on simple nonlinear dynamo models

K. J. Richardson, M. R. E. Proctor

We investigate the interaction of a fluctuating alpha-effect with large-scale shear in a simple nonlinear 1-dimensional dynamo wave model. We firstly extend the calculations of Pro…
