Stratified Resistive Tearing Instability
Scott J. Hopper, Toby S. Wood, Paul J. Bushby
Resistive tearing instabilities are common in fluids that are highly electrically conductive and carry strong currents. We determine the effect of stable stratification on the tear…
Validity of sound-proof approximations for magnetic buoyancy
John B. Moss, Toby S. Wood, Paul J. Bushby
The presence of acoustic waves in models of compressible flows can present complications for analytical and numerical analysis. Therefore, several methods have been developed to fi…
Oscillatory convection and limitations of the Boussinesq approximation
Toby S Wood, Paul J Bushby
We determine the asymptotic conditions under which the Boussinesq approximation is valid for oscillatory convection in a rapidly rotating fluid. In the astrophysically relevant par…
Effect of metallic walls on dynamos generated by laminar boundary-driven flow in a spherical domain
Celine Guervilly, Toby S. Wood, Nicholas H. Brummell
We present a numerical study of dynamo action in a conducting fluid encased in a metallic spherical shell. Motions in the fluid are driven by differential rotation of the outer met…
