The experiments of Malkus (1968) are simulated using a hyperviscosity.

The power needed to sustain the geomagnetic field is set by the ohmic losses (dissipation due to electrical resistance)(1). Recent estimates of ohmic losses cover a wide range, from 0.1 to 3.5 TW, or roughly 0.3 - 10% of the Earth's surface heat flow(1-4). The energy requirement of the dynamo puts constraints on the thermal budget and evolution of the core through Earth's history(1-5). Here we use a set of numerical dynamo models to derive scaling relations between the core's characteristic dissipation time and the core's magnetic and hydrodynamic Reynolds numbers dimensionless numbers that measure the ratio of advective transport to magnetic and viscous diffusion, respectively. The ohmic dissipation of the Karlsruhe dynamo experiment(6) supports a simple dependence on the magnetic Reynolds number alone, indicating that flow turbulence in the experiment and in the Earth's core has little influence on its characteristic dissipation time. We use these results to predict moderate ohmic dissipation in the range of 0.2-0.5 TW, which removes the need for strong radioactive heating in the core(7) and allows the age of the solid inner core to exceed 2.5 billion years."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/nature02508"],["dc.identifier.isi","000221356300037"],["dc.identifier.pmid","15141208"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/48320"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Nature Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","0028-0836"],["dc.title","Power requirement of the geodynamo from ohmic losses in numerical and laboratory dynamos"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Moreover, they have proven to be a useful tool for understanding how the observations connect to the dynamo mechanism. More recently, dynamo simulations have also ventured to explain the surprising diversity of planetary fields found in our solar system. Here, we describe the underlying model equations, concentrating on the Boussinesq approximations, briefly discuss the numerical methods, and give an overview of existing model variations. We explain how the solutions depend on the model parameters and introduce the primary dynamo regimes. Of particular interest is the dependence on the Ekman number which is many orders of magnitude too large in the models for numerical reasons. We show that a minor change in the solution seems to happen at E = 3 x 10(-6) whose significance, however, needs to be explored in the future. We also review three topics that have been a focus of recent research: field reversal mechanisms, torsional oscillations, and the influence of Earth's thermal mantle structure on the dynamo.

Inertial waves are known to arise in rotating fluids, and their presence in the core has been previously argued using seismological data (Aldridge and Lumb 1987). They may also be involved in flows affecting the geodynamo. We report experimental observations of inertial wave modes in an Earth-like geometry: laboratory spherical Couette flow with an aspect ratio 0.33, using liquid sodium as the working fluid. Inertial modes are detected via magnetic induction and show good agreement with theoretical predictions in frequency, wavenumber, and magnetic induction structure. Our findings imply that linear wave behavior can dominate the dynamics even in turbulent flows with large Reynolds number Re, where nonlinear behaviors might be expected (here Re similar to 10(7)). We present evidence that strong differential rotation excites the modes via over-reflection. Earth's inner core may also super-rotate and thereby excite inertial modes in the same way. Zonal flows in the core, likely to have higher speeds than the super-rotation, may be a stronger source for exciting inertial modes in the Earth."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1080/03091920701561907"],["dc.identifier.isi","000252668900009"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/50396"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Taylor & Francis Ltd"],["dc.publisher.place","Abingdon"],["dc.relation.conference","10th Symposium on the Study of the Earths Deep Interior (SEDI)"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Prague, CZECH REPUBLIC"],["dc.relation.issn","0309-1929"],["dc.title","Inertial waves driven by differential rotation in a planetary geometry"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
