Driven inertial waves in spherical Couette flow.
Dynamo action in the cores of planets and stars gives rise to their magnetic fields. We explore spherical Couette flows in liquid sodium as a laboratory model of the Earth’s core. Below, we image various spatiotemporal magnetic-field modes present in spherical Couette flows. Our apparatus is comprised of two independently driven rotating spheres, radii 20 and 60 cm, with sodium filling the gap ...
متن کاملSelection of inertial modes in spherical Couette flow.
Spherical Couette flow involves fluid sheared between concentric coaxially rotating spheres. Its scientific relevance lies not only in the simplicity of the system but also in its applicability to astrophysical objects such as atmospheres, oceans, and planetary cores. One common behavior in all rotating flows, including spherical Couette flow, is the presence of inertial modes, which are linear...
متن کاملFormation of Taylor Vortices in Spherical Couette Flow
We have conducted a numerical studv of spherical Couette Vlow -the flow between differentiallv rotatin~ concentric spheres. When the qa D ratio o{(R2-RI)/RI (where R 1 and R 2 are the radii of the inner and outer spheres) is small, the flow near the e~uator resembles that between cylinders, the classic Tavlor-Couette ~roblem. As in Tavlor-Couette flow, when the angular momentum gradient, measur...
متن کاملSpherical Couette flow in a dipolar magnetic field
We consider numerically the flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a differentially rotating spherical shell, in a dipolar magnetic field. For infinitesimal differential rotation the flow consists of a super-rotating region, concentrated on the particular field line C just touching the outer sphere, in agreement with previous results. Finite differential rotation suppresses this super-rota...
