Scaling behaviour of rotating convection in a spherical shell with different Prandtl numbers
Wei Fan, Qi Wang, Yufeng Lin
Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rotating spherical shell provides a simplified model for convective dynamics of planetary and stellar interiors. In this study, we build more than 2…

Dynamos driven by top-heavy double-diffusive convection in the strong-field regime
Wei Fan, Yufeng Lin
The magnetic fields of terrestrial planets are generated in their liquid cores through dynamo action driven by thermal and compositional convection. The coexistence of these two bu…

Ocean Tides on Asynchronously Rotating Planets Orbiting Low-mass Stars
Jiaru Shi, Jun Yang, Dorian S. Abbot +3
Planets in the liquid-water habitable zone of low-mass stars experience large tidal forces, to times those on Earth, due to the small distance between the habitable z…
