Abstract:The dynamo actions of an electrically conducting fluid in a precessing sphere are investigated over a wide range of parameters by direct numerical simulation using a Galerkin spectral method. The focus of this work is to identify the most promising parameter regimes for the dynamo action and to investigate the characteristics of the magnetic field generated by precession. The influence of different nutation angles (30°,60°,90°) and different precession ratios on the ability to drive dynamo action are investiga… Show more
