Turbulent kinematic dynamos in ellipsoids driven by mechanical forcing
K. Sandeep Reddy, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
Dynamo action in planetary cores has been extensively studied in the context of convectively-driven flows. We show in this letter that mechanical forcings, namely tides, libration…
Evolution and characteristics of forced shear flows in polytropic atmospheres: Large and small Péclet number regimes
V. Witzke, L. J. Silvers, B. Favier
Complex mixing and magnetic field generation occurs within stellar interiors particularly where there is a strong shear flow. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of these proce…
The energy flux spectrum of internal waves generated by turbulent convection
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Daniel Lecoanet, Benjamin Favier +1
We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of internal waves excited by turbulent convection in a self-consistent, Boussinesq and Cartesian model of convective--stab…
Order Out of Chaos: Slowly Reversing Mean Flows Emerge from Turbulently Generated Internal Waves
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Daniel Lecoanet, Benjamin Favier +1
We demonstrate via direct numerical simulations that a periodic, oscillating mean flow spontaneously develops from turbulently generated internal waves. We consider a minimal physi…
