Earth's magnetic field is generated by fluid motions in the outer core. This geodynamo has
operated for over 3.4 billion years. However, the mechanism that has sustained the …

Dynamo magnetic fields are primarily generated by thermochemical convection of
electrically conductive liquid metal within planetary cores. Convection can be sustained by …

Bodily tides provide key information on the interior structure, evolution, and origin of the
planetary bodies. Our Solar system harbors a very diverse population of planetary bodies …

The properties of rotating turbulence driven by precession are studied using direct numerical
simulations and analysis of the underlying dynamical processes in Fourier space. The study …

We numerically study precession driven flows in a cylindrical container whose nutation
angle varies between 60 and 90 degrees for prograde and retrograde precession. For …

Motivated by modelling rotating turbulence in planetary fluid layers, we investigate
precession-driven flows in ellipsoids subject to stress-free boundary conditions (SF-BC). The …

Abstract Changes in the Earth's rotation are deeply connected to fluid dynamical processes
in the outer core. This connection can be explored by studying the associated Earth …

Understanding fluid flows in planetary cores and subsurface oceans, as well as their
signatures in available observational data (gravity, magnetism, rotation, etc.), is a …

Analyses of lunar rocks and magnetic field data from orbit show that the Moon once had a
global magnetic field generated by an internal dynamo. Magnetization of the deep crust …

The effect of the nutation angle on the flow inside a precessing cylinder is experimentally
explored and compared with numerical simulations. The focus is laid on the typical …
