Planetary magnetic fields and fluid dynamos

CA Jones - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The magnetic fields of the planets, including the Earth, are generated by dynamo action in
their fluid cores. Numerical models of this process have been developed that solve the …

Recent geodynamo simulations and observations of the geomagnetic field

M Kono, PH Roberts - Reviews of Geophysics, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
In 1995, two groups [Kageyama et al., 1995; Glatzmaier and Roberts, 1995a, 1995b]

Turbulent geodynamo simulations: a leap towards Earth's core

N Schaeffer, D Jault, HC Nataf… - Geophysical Journal …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
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 rapidly …

Efficient spherical harmonic transforms aimed at pseudospectral numerical simulations

N Schaeffer - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we report on very efficient algorithms for spherical harmonic transform (SHT).
Explicitly vectorized variations of the algorithm based on the Gauss‐Legendre quadrature …

Spherical convective dynamos in the rapidly rotating asymptotic regime

J Aubert, T Gastine, A Fournier - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2017 - cambridge.org
Self-sustained convective dynamos in planetary systems operate in an asymptotic regime of
rapid rotation, where a balance is thought to hold between the Coriolis, pressure, buoyancy …

“Yin‐Yang grid”: An overset grid in spherical geometry

A Kageyama, T Sato - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
A new kind of overset grid, named Yin‐Yang grid, for spherical geometry is proposed. The
Yin‐Yang grid is composed of two identical component grids that are combined in a …

Planetary magnetic fields

DJ Stevenson - Earth and planetary science letters, 2003 - Elsevier
The past several years have seen dramatic developments in the study of planetary magnetic
fields, including a wealth of new data, mainly from the Galilean satellites and Mars, together …

Inner-core conductivity in numerical dynamo simulations

J Wicht - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2002 - Elsevier
Speculation about its possible super-rotation has drawn the attention of many geophysical
researchers to the Earth's inner core. An issue of special interest for geodynamo modelling …
