Effect of the radiative background flux in convection
A. Brandenburg, K. L. Chan, A. Nordlund +1
Numerical simulations of turbulent stratified convection are used to study models with approximately the same convective flux, but different radiative fluxes. As the radiative flux…
The case for a distributed solar dynamo shaped by near-surface shear
Axel Brandenburg
Arguments for and against the widely accepted picture of a solar dynamo being seated in the tachocline are reviewed and alternative ideas concerning dynamos operating in the bulk o…
Dissociation in a polymerization model of homochirality
A. Brandenburg, A. C. Andersen, M. Nilsson
A fully self-contained model of homochirality is presented that contains the effects of both polymerization and dissociation. The dissociation fragments are assumed to replenish th…
Nonhelical turbulent dynamos: shocks and shear
A. Brandenburg, N. E. L. Haugen, A. J. Mee
Small scale turbulent dynamo action in compressible transonic turbulence is discussed. It is shown that the critical value of the magnetic Reynolds number displays a bimodal behavi…
The problem of small and large scale fields in the solar dynamo
A. Brandenburg, N. E. L. Haugen, P. J. Käpylä +1
Three closely related stumbling blocks of solar mean field dynamo theory are discussed: how dominant are the small scale fields, how is the alpha effect quenched, and whether magne…
Magnetic field generation in fully convective rotating spheres
W. Dobler, M. Stix, A. Brandenburg
Magnetohydrodynamic simulations of fully convective, rotating spheres with volume heating near the center and cooling at the surface are presented. The dynamo-generated magnetic fi…
