Solar 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 کاملA Three-dimensional Spherical Nonlinear Interface Dynamo
A fully three-dimensional, nonlinear, time-dependent spherical interface dynamo is investigated using a finite-element method based on the three-dimensional tetrahedralization of the spherical system. The spherical interface dynamo model consists of four zones: an electrically conducting and uniformly rotating core, a thin differentially rotating tachocline, a uniformly rotating turbulent conve...
متن کاملA solar surface dynamo
Context. Observations indicate that the ‘quiet’ solar photosphere outside active regions contains considerable amounts of magnetic energy and magnetic flux, with mixed polarity on small scales. The origin of this flux is unclear. Aims. We test whether local dynamo action of the near-surface convection (granulation) can generate a significant contribution to the observed magnetic flux. Methods. ...
متن کاملKinematic solar dynamo models with a deep meridional flow
We develop two different solar dynamo models to verify the hypothesis that a deep meridional flow can restrict the apperance of sunspots below 45 degrees, proposed by Nandy & Choudhuri (2002). In the first one, a single polytropic approximation for the density profile was taken, for both radiative and convective zones. In the second one, two polytropes were used to distinguish between both zone...
متن کاملA Spherical Plasma Dynamo Experiment
We propose a plasma experiment to be used to investigate fundamental properties of astrophysical dynamos. The highly conducting, fast flowing plasma will allow experimenters to explore the high-magnetic-Reynolds-number regime. The plasma is confined using a ring-cusp strategy and subject to a toroidal differentially rotating outer boundary condition. As proof of principle, we present magnetohyd...
