Internal shear layers generated by a vertically oscillating cylinder in unbounded and bounded rotating fluids

Jiyang He, Benjamin Favier, Stéphane Le Dizès

In rotating fluids, the viscous smoothing of inviscid singular inertial waves leads to the formation of internal shear layers. In previous works, we analysed the internal shear lay…

Inertial wave super-attractor in a truncated elliptical cone

Benjamin Favier, Stéphane Le Dizès

We consider inertial waves propagating in a fluid contained in a non-axisymmetric three-dimensional rotating cavity. We focus on the particular case of a fluid enclosed inside a tr…

Large-scale dynamos in rapidly rotating plane layer convection

P. J. Bushby, P. J. Käpylä, Y. Masada +4

Context: Convectively-driven flows play a crucial role in the dynamo processes that are responsible for producing magnetic activity in stars and planets. It is still not fully unde…

Inverse cascade and symmetry breaking in rapidly-rotating Boussinesq convection

B. Favier, L. J. Silvers, M. R. E. Proctor

In this paper we present numerical simulations of rapidly-rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in the Boussinesq approximation with stress-free boundary conditions. At moderately lo…

Kinematic dynamo action in square and hexagonal patterns

B. Favier, M. R. E. Proctor

We consider kinematic dynamo action in rapidly rotating Boussinesq convection just above onset. The velocity is constrained to have either a square or a hexagonal pattern. For the…

On the problem of large-scale magnetic field generation in rotating compressible convection

Benjamin Favier, Paul J. Bushby

Mean-field dynamo theory suggests that turbulent convection in a rotating layer of electrically-conducting fluid produces a significant alpha-effect, which is one of the key ingred…
