Our understanding of the dynamics of the Earth's core can be advanced by a combination of
observation, experiments, and simulations. A crucial aspect of the core is the interplay …

Several teams have reported peculiar frequency spectra for flows in a spherical shell. To
address their origin, we perform numerical simulations of the spherical Couette flow in a …

The contribution of small scale turbulent fluctuations to the induction of a mean magnetic
field is investigated in our liquid sodium spherical Couette experiment with an imposed …

For the first time, we have directly measured the transport of a vector magnetic field by
isotropic turbulence in a high Reynolds number liquid metal flow. In analogy with direct …

We present numerical simulations of the kinematic induction equation in order to examine
the dynamo efficiency of an axisymmetric von Kármán–like flow subject to time-dependent …

Turbulent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) dynamo action in a spherically bounded electrically
conducting flow is investigated numerically. A large-scale two-vortex flow driven by a …

A new method for studying flow-driven MHD instabilities in the laboratory has been
developed, using a highly conductive, low viscosity, spherical plasma. The confinement …

This paper presents an analysis of the Dudley-James two-vortex flow, which inspired several
laboratory-scale liquid-metal experiments, in order to better demonstrate its relation to …

Direct measurements of the vector turbulent emf in a driven two-vortex flow of liquid sodium
were performed in the Madison Dynamo Experiment [K. Rahbarnia et al., Astrophys. J. 759 …

The magnetohydrodynamic dynamo effect explains the generation of self-sustained
magnetic fields in electrically conducting flows, especially in geo-and astrophysical …
