An accurate description of turbulent core convection is necessary in order to build robust
models of planetary core processes. Towards this end, we focus here on the physics of …

A convection-driven multiscale dynamo model is developed in the limit of low Rossby
number for the plane layer geometry in which the gravity and rotation vectors are aligned …

An efficient, spectral numerical method is presented for solving problems in a spherical shell
geometry that employs spherical harmonics in the angular dimensions and Chebyshev …

Subsurface convection zones are ubiquitous in early-type stars. Driven by narrow opacity
peaks, these thin convective regions transport little heat but play an important role in setting …

The linear theory for rotating compressible convection in a plane layer geometry is
presented for the astrophysically relevant case of low Prandtl number gases. When the …

Magnetic buoyancy instability, which is of astrophysical importance, results from the
influence of magnetic pressure variations on the density of a fluid in a gravitational field. It is …

The onset of dynamo action is investigated within the context of a newly developed low
Rossby, low magnetic Prandtl number, convection-driven dynamo model. This multiscale …

The Rossby number is a crucial parameter describing the degree of rotational constraint on
the convective dynamics in stars and planets. However, it is not an input to computational …

Most large-scale planetary magnetic fields are thought to be driven by low Rossby number
convection of a low magnetic Prandtl number fluid. Here kinematic dynamo action is …
