Experimental study of internal wave generation by convection in water
Michael Le Bars, Daniel Lecoanet, Stéphane Perrard +4
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of water cooled from below at 0^oC and heated from above. Taking advantage of the unusual property that water's density maximum is at abo…
Approaching the Asymptotic Regime of Rapidly Rotating Convection: Boundary Layers vs Interior Dynamics
S. Stellmach, M. Lischper, K. Julien +5
Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied by combining results from direct numerical simulations (DNS), laboratory experiments and asymptotic modeling. The asymptotic…
Experimental evidence of Alfvén wave propagation in a Gallium alloy
Thierry Alboussiere, Philippe Cardin, François Debray +5
Experiments with a liquid metal alloy, galinstan, are reported and show clear evidence of Alfvén wave propagation as well as resonance of Alfvén modes. Galinstan is liquid at room…
Generation of axisymmetric modes in cylindrical kinematic mean-field dynamos of VKS type
A. Giesecke, C. Nore, F. Plunian +6
In an attempt to understand why the dominating magnetic field observed in the von-Kármán-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment is axisymmetric, we investigate in the present paper the abi…
Impact of impellers on the axisymmetric magnetic mode in the VKS2 dynamo experiment
R. Laguerre, C. Nore, A. Ribeiro +3
In the VKS2 (von Kármán Sodium 2) successful dynamo experiment of September 2006, the magnetic field that was observed showed a strong axisymmetric component, implying that non axi…
