The Unsteady Taylor--Vortex Dynamo is Fast
Liam O'Connor, Daniel Lecoanet, Geoffrey M. Vasil +6
Astrophysical and geophysical fluids commonly generate organized magnetic fields, despite having enormous magnetic Reynolds numbers and abundant small-scale turbulence. F…

Rapidly Rotating Wall-Mode Convection
Geoffrey M. Vasil, Keaton J. Burns, Daniel Lecoanet +3
In the rapidly rotating limit, we derive a balanced set of reduced equations governing the strongly nonlinear development of the convective wall-mode instability in the interior of…

On the Linear Stability of Partially and Fully Saturated Atmospheres to Moist Convection
Jeffrey S. Oishi, Benjamin P. Brown
We present a linear analysis of a minimal model of moist convection under a variety of atmospheric conditions. The stationary solutions that we analyze include both fully saturated…
