Abstract

En 中文
The generation of a magnetic field by dynamo action in a Taylor-vortex flow is investigated numerically. We first discuss how the Taylor vortices generate a spatially subharmonic dynamo, for which the axial wavelength of the magnetic field is twice the one of the flow pattern. Then, we investigate the influence of the Reynolds number and the turbulent fluctuations on the structure and the onset of the Taylor-Couette dynamo. Finally, based on the subharmonic nature of this dynamo, we propose new configurations which could be relevant for laboratory experiments. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
