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 Saturation in the Riga Dynamo Experiment
Agris Gailitis, Olgerts Lielausis, Ernests Platacis +7
After the dynamo experiment in November 1999 had shown magnetic field self-excitation in a spiraling liquid metal flow, in a second series of experiments emphasis was placed on the…
Detection of a flow induced magnetic field eigenmode in the Riga dynamo facility
Agris Gailitis, Olgerts Lielausis, Sergej Dement'ev +8
In an experiment at the Riga sodium dynamo facility, a slowly growing magnetic field eigenmode has been detected over a period of about 15 seconds. For a slightly decreased propell…
