On the reflection of Alfvén waves and its implication for Earth's core modeling
Nathanaël Schaeffer, Dominique Jault, Philippe Cardin +1
Alfvén waves propagate in electrically conducting fluids in the presence of a magnetic field. Their reflection properties depend on the ratio between the kinematic viscosity and th…

A dynamo driven by zonal jets at the upper surface: Applications to giant planets
Céline Guervilly, Philippe Cardin, Nathanaël Schaeffer
We present a dynamo mechanism arising from the presence of barotropically unstable zonal jet currents in a rotating spherical shell. The shear instability of the zonal flow develop…
