The effects of flux transport on interface dynamos
J. Mason, D. W. Hughes, S. M. Tobias
The operation of an interface dynamo (as has been suggested for the Sun and other stars with convective envelopes) relies crucially upon the effective transport of magnetic flux be…

Large-scale Dynamo Action Driven by Velocity Shear and Rotating Convection
David W. Hughes, Michael R. E. Proctor
By incorporating a large-scale shear flow into turbulent rotating convection, we show that a sufficiently strong shear can promote dynamo action in flows that in the absence of she…

The Nonlinear Evolution of Instabilities Driven by Magnetic Buoyancy: A New Mechanism for the Formation of Coherent Magnetic Structures
Evy Kersale, David W. Hughes, Steven M. Tobias
Motivated by the problem of the formation of active regions from a deep-seated solar magnetic field, we consider the nonlinear three-dimensional evolution of magnetic buoyancy inst…
