Influence of Rotation on Fingering Convection in Planetary Cores

Martin Gray, Celine Guervilly, Graeme Sarson

Stably stratified layers are thought to develop at the top of the liquid metallic cores of many terrestrial planets. We consider the case where the thermal gradient is stable but t…

The cross-over from viscous to inertial lengthscales in rapidly-rotating convection

Céline Guervilly, Emmanuel Dormy

Convection is the main heat transport mechanism in the Earth's liquid core and is thought to power the dynamo that generates the geomagnetic field. Core convection is strongly cons…

Fingering convection in the stably-stratified layers of planetary cores

Celine Guervilly

Stably-stratified layers may be present at the top of the electrically-conducting fluid layers of many planets either because the temperature gradient is locally subadiabatic or be…

Subcritical dynamos in rapidly-rotating planar convection

Robert G. Cooper, Paul J. Bushby, Celine Guervilly

We study dynamo action using numerical simulations of planar Boussinesq convection at rapid rotation (low Ekman numbers, Ek), focusing on subcritical dynamo action in which the dyn…

On the dynamical interaction between overshooting convection and an underlying dipole magnetic field -- I. The non-dynamo regime

Lydia Korre, Nicholas H. Brummell, Pascale Garaud +1

Motivated by the dynamics in the deep interiors of many stars, we study the interaction between overshooting convection and the large-scale poloidal fields residing in radiative zo…

Subcritical turbulent condensate in rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Benjamin Favier, Céline Guervilly, Edgar Knobloch

The possibility of subcritical behaviour in the geostrophic turbulence regime of rapidly rotating thermally driven convection is explored. In this regime a non-local inverse energy…
