Bubble size distribution and electrode coverage at porous nickel electrodes in a novel 3-electrode flow-through cell

Hannes Rox, Aleksandr Bashkatov, Xuegeng Yang +4

A novel 3-electrode cell type is introduced to run parametrical studies of H evolution in an alkaline electrolyte on porous electrodes. Electrochemical methods combined with a…

Laboratory experiments on dynamo action and magnetically triggered flow instabilities

F. Stefani, A. Gailitis, G. Gerbeth +4

Magnetic fields of planets, stars and galaxies are generated by self-excitation in moving electrically conducting fluids. Once produced, magnetic fields can play an active role in…

Self-excitation in a helical liquid metal flow: The Riga dynamo experiments

A. Gailitis, G. Gerbeth, Th. Gundrum +4

The homogeneous dynamo effect is at the root of magnetic field generation in cosmic bodies, including planets, stars and galaxies. While the underlying theory had increasingly flou…

Experimental evidence for non-axisymmetric magnetorotational instability in a rotating liquid metal exposed to an azimuthal magnetic field

Martin Seilmayer, Vladimir Galindo, Gunter Gerbeth +6

The azimuthal version of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is a non-axisymmetric instability of a hydrodynamically stable differentially rotating flow under the influence of…

Experimental realization of dynamo action: present status and prospects

Andre Giesecke, Frank Stefani, Thomas Gundrum +3

In the last decades, the experimental study of dynamo action has made great progress. However, after the dynamo experiments in Karlsruhe and Riga, the von-Karman-Sodium (VKS) dynam…
