Growth rate degeneracies in kinematic dynamos.
We consider the classical problem of kinematic dynamo action in simple steady flows. Due to the adjointness of the induction operator, we show that the growth rate of the dynamo will be exactly the same for two types of magnetic boundary conditions: the magnetic field can be normal (infinite magnetic permeability, also called pseudovacuum) or tangent (perfect electrical conductor) to the bounda...
متن کاملConvection in Slab and Spheroidal Geometries
Three-dimensional numerical simulations of compressible turbulent thermally driven convection, in both slab and spheroidal geometries, are reviewed and analyzed in terms of velocity spectra and mixing length theory. The same ideal gas model is used in both geometries, and resulting ows are compared. The Piecewise-Parabolic Method (PPM), with either thermal conductivity or photospheric boundary ...
متن کاملSolar Interface Dynamos. I. Linear, Kinematic Models in Cartesian Geometry
We describe a simple, kinematic model for a dynamo operating in the vicinity of the interface between the convective and radiative portions of the solar interior. The model dynamo resides within a Cartesian domain, partioned into an upper, convective half and lower, radiative half, with the magnetic di†usivity g of the former region assumed to exceed that of the latter The Ñuid motions that con...
متن کاملOn Some Recent Results about Inertial Manifolds and Kinematic Dynamos
The conditions imposed in the paper [’Inertial manifolds and completeness of eigenmodes for unsteady magnetic dynamos’, Physica D 194 (2004) 297-319] on the fluid velocity to guarantee the existence of inertial manifolds for the kinematic dynamo problem are too demanding, in the sense that they imply that all the solutions tend exponentially to zero. The inertial manifolds are meaningful becaus...
متن کاملOn Kinematic Substructure in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
We present multifiber echelle radial velocity results for 551 stars in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy and identify 294 stars as probable Sextans members. The projected velocity dispersion profile of the binned data remains flat to a maximum angular radius of 30. We introduce a nonparametric technique for estimating the projected velocity dispersion surface, and use this to search for kinem...
