Why dynamos are prone to reversals
Frank Stefani, Gunter Gerbeth, Uwe Guenther +1
In a recent paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (2005), 184506; physics/0411050) it was shown that a simple mean-field dynamo model with a spherically symmetric helical turbulence parameter…
Third order spectral branch points in Krein space related setups: PT-symmetric matrix toy model, MHD alpha^2-dynamo, and extended Squire equation
Uwe Guenther, Frank Stefani
The spectra of self-adjoint operators in Krein spaces are known to possess real sectors as well as sectors of pair-wise complex conjugate eigenvalues. Transitions from one spectral…
MHD alpha^2-dynamo, Squire equation and PT-symmetric interpolation between square well and harmonic oscillator
Uwe Guenther, Frank Stefani, Miloslav Znojil
It is shown that the alpha^2-dynamo of Magnetohydrodynamics, the hydrodynamic Squire equation as well as an interpolation model of PT-symmetric Quantum Mechanics are closely relate…
Contactless inductive flow tomography
Frank Stefani, Thomas Gundrum, Gunter Gerbeth
The three-dimensional velocity field of a propeller driven liquid metal flow is reconstructed by a contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT). The underlying theory is presented…
The MHD alpha^2-dynamo, Z_2-graded pseudo-Hermiticity, level crossings and exceptional points of branching type
U. Guenther, F. Stefani, G. Gerbeth
The spectral branching behavior of the 2x2 operator matrix of the magneto-hydrodynamic alpha^2-dynamo is analyzed numerically. Some qualitative aspects of level crossings are brief…
Inverse Problems in Magnetohydrodynamics: Theoretical and Experimental Aspects
Frank Stefani, Thomas Gundrum, Gunter Gerbeth +2
We consider inverse problems related to the velocity reconstruction in electrically conducting fluids from externally measured magnetic fields. The underlying theory is presented i…
