Towards a precession driven dynamo experiment
F. Stefani, T. Albrecht, G. Gerbeth +5
The most ambitious project within the DREsden Sodium facility for DYNamo and thermohydraulic studies (DRESDYN) at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) is the set-up of a pre…
Magnetic material in mean-field dynamos driven by small scale helical flows
Andre Giesecke, Frank Stefani, Gunter Gerbeth
We perform kinematic simulations of dynamo action driven by a helical small scale flow of a conducting fluid in order to deduce mean-field properties of the combined induction acti…
Electromagnetic induction in non-uniform domains
A. Giesecke, C. Nore, F. Luddens +4
Kinematic simulations of the induction equation are carried out for different setups suitable for the von-Kármán-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment. Material properties of the flow dri…
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…
Ambivalent effects of added layers on steady kinematic dynamos in cylindrical geometry: application to the VKS experiment
F. Stefani, M. Xu, G. Gerbeth +4
The intention of the ''von Karman sodium'' (VKS) experiment is to study the hydromagnetic dynamo effect in a highly turbulent and unconstrained flow. Much effort has been devoted t…
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…
