A regime diagram for the slurry F-layer at the base of Earth's outer core
Jenny Wong, Christopher J. Davies, Christopher A. Jones
Seismic observations of a slowdown in P wave velocity at the base of Earth's outer core suggest the presence of a stably-stratified region known as the F-layer. This raises an impo…
Performance of parallel-in-time integration for Rayleigh Bénard Convection
Andrew Clarke, Chris Davies, Daniel Ruprecht +2
Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) is a fundamental problem of fluid dynamics, with many applications to geophysical, astrophysical, and industrial flows. Understanding RBC at parame…
Penetration of boundary-driven flows into a rotating spherical thermally-stratified fluid
Grace A. Cox, Christopher J. Davies, Philip W. Livermore +1
Motivated by the dynamics within terrestrial bodies, we consider a rotating, strongly thermally stratified fluid within a spherical shell subject to a prescribed laterally inhomoge…
Iron Snow in the Martian Core?
Christopher Davies, and Anne Pommier
The decline of Mars' global magnetic field some 3.8-4.1 billion years ago is thought to reflect the demise of the dynamo that operated in its liquid core. The dynamo was probably p…
Geomagnetic spikes on the core-mantle boundary
Christopher Davies, Catherine Constable
Extreme variations of Earth's magnetic field occurred in the Levant region around 1000 BC, when the field intensity rapidly rose and fell by a factor of 2. No coherent link current…
Heat Flow and Boundary Heterogeneity in Rotating Convection
Jon E. Mound, Christopher J. Davies
Convection in the metallic cores of terrestrial planets is likely to be subjected to lateral variations in heat flux through the outer boundary imposed by creeping flow in the over…
