Kinematic dynamo in spherical Couette flow
Xing Wei, Andrew Jackson, Rainer Hollerbach
We investigate numerically kinematic dynamos driven by flow of electrically conducting fluid in the shell between two concentric differentially rotating spheres, a configuration no…
Instabilities of Shercliff and Stewartson layers in spherical Couette flow
Xing Wei, Rainer Hollerbach
We explore numerically the flow induced in a spherical shell by differentially rotating the inner and outer spheres. The fluid is also taken to be electrically conducting (in the l…
Magnetic spherical Couette flow in linear combinations of axial and dipolar fields
Xing Wei, Rainer Hollerbach
We present axisymmetric numerical calculations of the fluid flow induced in a spherical shell with inner sphere rotating and outer sphere stationary. A magnetic field is also impos…
Local analysis of the magnetic instability in rotating magneto-hydrodynamics with the short-wavelength approximation
Xing Wei
We investigate analytically the magnetic instability in a rotating and electrically conducting fluid induced by an imposed magnetic field with its associated electric current. The…
Sign of helicity in the - geodynamo
Xing Wei
In this paper we discuss the sign of helicity in the - dynamo and propose a wave- model in which the effect in the geodynamo is induced by helical wave but not helical…
