The Turbulent Dynamo
¥This type of model
should not be confused with a global dynamo model --- in our case, there is no need for an interface layer, rotation
(differential or otherwise), or prescribed
flows.
¥Our work differs from
that of Cattaneo (1999) in that our domain is highly stratified --- but like his Boussinesq calculation, we
find that our small seed field grows
exponentially until it saturates at ~7% of the total kinetic energy of the computational domain. Compute time:
5.5 CPU months (2.4 GHz Xeon)
