Experimental realization of dynamo action: present status and prospects
Andre Giesecke, Frank Stefani, Thomas Gundrum +3
In the last decades, the experimental study of dynamo action has made great progress. However, after the dynamo experiments in Karlsruhe and Riga, the von-Karman-Sodium (VKS) dynam…
Forward and inverse problems in fundamental and applied magnetohydrodynamics
Andre Giesecke, Frank Stefani, Thomas Wondrak +1
This Minireview summarizes the recent efforts to solve forward and inverse problems as they occur in different branches of fundamental and applied magnetohydrodynamics. As for the…
Impact of time-dependent non-axisymmetric velocity perturbations on dynamo action of von-Kármán-like flows
Andre Giesecke, Frank Stefani, Javier Burguete
We have performed numerical simulations of the kinematic induction equation in order to examine the dynamo efficiency of an axisymmetric von-Kármán-like flow subject to time-depend…
Spectral properties of oscillatory and non-oscillatory α^2-dynamos
A. Giesecke, F. Stefani, G. Gerbeth
The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a linear α^{2}-dynamo have been computed for different spatial distributions of an isotropic α-effect. Oscillatory solutions are obtained when…
DRESDYN - A new facility for MHD experiments with liquid sodium
F. Stefani, S. Eckert, G. Gerbeth +5
The DREsden Sodium facility for DYNamo and thermohydraulic studies (DRESDYN) is intended as a platform both for large scale experiments related to geo- and astrophysics as well as…
