Sustaining Earth's magnetic dynamo

M Landeau, A Fournier, HC Nataf, D Cébron… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2022 - nature.com
Earth's magnetic field is generated by fluid motions in the outer core. This geodynamo has
operated for over 3.4 billion years. However, the mechanism that has sustained the …

Planetary magnetic fields and fluid dynamos

CA Jones - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The magnetic fields of the planets, including the Earth, are generated by dynamo action in
their fluid cores. Numerical models of this process have been developed that solve the …

Influences on exchange processes: Buyers' preconceptions of a seller's trustworthiness and bargaining toughness

PH Schurr, JL Ozanne - Journal of consumer research, 1985 - academic.oup.com
Exchange theories posit that trust has an important and favorable influence on dyadic
interactions. This paper examines the notion that trust plays a key role in making a seller's …

Magnetic reconnection in plasmas

D Biskamp - Astrophysics and Space Science, 1996 - Springer
A review of the present status of the theory of magnetic reconnection is given. In strongly
collisional plasmas reconnection proceeds via resistive current sheets, ie quasi-stationary …

A three-dimensional self-consistent computer simulation of a geomagnetic field reversal

GA Glatzmaiers, PH Roberts - Nature, 1995 - nature.com
A three-dimensional, self-consistent numerical model of the geodynamo is described, that
maintains a magnetic field for over 40,000 years. The model, which incorporates a finitely …

Scaling properties of convection-driven dynamos in rotating spherical shells and application to planetary magnetic fields

UR Christensen, J Aubert - Geophysical Journal International, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We study numerically an extensive set of dynamo models in rotating spherical shells,
varying all relevant control parameters by at least two orders of magnitude. Convection is …

A three-dimensional convective dynamo solution with rotating and finitely conducting inner core and mantle

GA Glatzmaier, PH Roberts - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1995 - Elsevier
We present the first three-dimensional (3D), time-dependent, self-consistent numerical
solution of the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations that describe thermal convection …

“Yin‐Yang grid”: An overset grid in spherical geometry

A Kageyama, T Sato - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
A new kind of overset grid, named Yin‐Yang grid, for spherical geometry is proposed. The
Yin‐Yang grid is composed of two identical component grids that are combined in a …

Geodynamo theory and simulations

PH Roberts, GA Glatzmaier - Reviews of modern physics, 2000 - APS
Abstract 80 years ago, Joseph Larmor planted the seed that grew into today's imposing body
of knowledge about how the Earth's magnetic field is created. His simple idea, that the …

A numerical dynamo benchmark

UR Christensen, J Aubert, P Cardin, E Dormy… - Physics of the Earth and …, 2001 - Elsevier
We present the results of a benchmark study for a convection-driven magnetohydrodynamic
dynamo problem in a rotating spherical shell. The solutions are stationary aside from …
