Simulating the geodynamo
Three-dimensional numerical simulations of convection and magnetic ®eld generation in the Earth’s core now span several hundred thousand years; the magnetic ®eld created during most of this time has an intensity, structure and time dependence similar to the present geomagnetic ®eld. Five models are described here. The ®rst is a homogeneous Boussinesq model, driven steadily by heat sources on th...
متن کاملEffect of the Heat Source Distribution in the Earth's Core on the Stability of Geodynamo
We investigate the effect of the heat source distribution on the behavior of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) dynamo action. We consider three models in which the ratio of the heat flow at the inner core boundary to that extracted away from the core to the mantle varies from 0%, 50% to 100%. The most frequently studied geodynamo model with a temperature difference between the upper and lower bound...

متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولGeodynamo theory and simulations
80 years ago, Joseph Larmor planted the seed that grew into today’s imposing body of knowledge about how the Earth’s magnetic field is created. His simple idea, that the geomagnetic field is the result of dynamo action in the Earth’s electrically conducting, fluid core, encountered many difficulties, but these have by now been largely overcome, while alternative proposals have been found to be ...
