Large-scale Dynamo Action Driven by Velocity Shear and Rotating Convection
David W. Hughes, Michael R. E. Proctor
By incorporating a large-scale shear flow into turbulent rotating convection, we show that a sufficiently strong shear can promote dynamo action in flows that in the absence of she…

The Nonlinear Evolution of Instabilities Driven by Magnetic Buoyancy: A New Mechanism for the Formation of Coherent Magnetic Structures
Evy Kersale, David W. Hughes, Steven M. Tobias
Motivated by the problem of the formation of active regions from a deep-seated solar magnetic field, we consider the nonlinear three-dimensional evolution of magnetic buoyancy inst…
