Infrared imaging of thermally-driven jets and eddies in planetary-style laboratory turbulence
Cy S. David, Remy Monville, Daphne Lemasquerier +2
This paper is associated with a poster winner of a 2025 American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Milton van Dyke Award for work presented at the DFD Gallery of…
A New Scaling Law for Non-Dipolar Magnetic Fields in Rapidly Rotating Stars and Planets
Paula N. Wulff, Hao Cao, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Magnetic field generation in giant planets and rapidly rotating stars produces a diverse range of field geometries, from large-scale dipole-dominated configurations to complex, sma…
The Effects of Radially Varying Diffusivities on Stellar Convection Zone Dynamics
Brandon J. Lazard, Nicholas A. Featherstone, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Convection is ubiquitous in stellar and planetary interiors where it likely plays an integral role in the generation of magnetic fields. As the interiors of these objects remain hi…
From Geostrophic to Magnetically-Damped Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Magnetoconvection
Tao Liu, Yufan Xu, Jewel A. Abbate +2
Understanding planetary core convection dynamics requires the study of convective flows in which the Coriolis and Lorentz forces attain a leading-order, so-called magnetostrophic b…
On the meaning of the dynamo radius in giant planets with stable layers
Paula N. Wulff, Hao Cao, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Current structure models of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that helium becomes immiscible in hydrogen in the outer part of the planets' electrically conducting regions. This likely lea…
Lorentz force mediation of turbulent dynamo transitions
Krista M. Soderlund, Paula Wulff, Petri Käpylä +1
We investigate how the strength of the Lorentz force alters stellar convection zone dynamics in a suite of buoyancy-dominated, three-dimensional, spherical shell convective dynamo…
