Strong field dynamo action in rapidly rotating convection with no inertia
David W. Hughes, Fausto Cattaneo
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by dynamo action driven by convection in the outer core. For numerical reasons, inertial and viscous forces play an important role in geodyn…

Generation of magnetic fields by large-scale vortices in rotating convection
Celine Guervilly, David W. Hughes, Chris A. Jones
We propose a new self-consistent dynamo mechanism for the generation of large-scale magnetic fields in natural objects. Recent computational studies have described the formation of…
