Abstract

The motivation for considering distributed large scale dynamos in the solar context is reviewed in connection with the magnetic helicity constraint. Preliminary accounts of 3‐dimensional direct numerical simulations (in spherical shell segments) and simulations of 2‐dimensional mean field models (in spherical shells) are presented. Interesting similarities as well as some differences are noted. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

In this paper we describe a numerical model for investigating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convective flow of a Boussinesq fluid in a rapidly rotating spherical shell, driven by the buoyancy forces arising from incoming buoyant flux at the inner core boundary. The model is designed to investigate the g

A spatial discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is presented in which the velocity is decomposed using poloidal and toroidal scalars whose spatial dependence is given in terms of spherical harmonics and Chebychev polynomials. The radial resolution needs to be large enough at an
