Zusammenfassung |
The rapid rotation of planets causes cyclonic thermal
turbulence in their cores which may generate the large-scale
magnetic fields observed outside the planets.
We investigate numerically a model based on the geodynamo equations in simplified geometry,
which enables us to reproduce the main features of small-scale geostrophic flows in physical
and wave vector spaces.
We find fluxes of kinetic and magnetic energy
as a function of the wave number and demonstrate the
co-existence of forward and inverse cascades.
We also explain the mechanism of magnetic field saturation at the end of the kinematic dynamo regime. |
