Subcritical thermal convection of liquid metals in a rapidly rotating sphere
E. J. Kaplan, N. Schaeffer, J. Vidal +1
Planetary cores consist of liquid metals (low Prandtl number ) that convect as the core cools. Here we study nonlinear convection in a rotating (low Ekman number ) planetar…

Turbulent geodynamo simulations: a leap towards Earth's core
Nathanaël Schaeffer, Dominique Jault, Henri-Claude Nataf +1
We present an attempt to reach realistic turbulent regime in direct numerical simulations of the geodynamo. We rely on a sequence of three convection-driven simulations in a rapidl…
