Competing kinematic dynamo mechanisms in rotating convection with shear
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 August 2011
Abstract
Following earlier work by Hughes & Proctor (2009) on the role of velocity shear in convectively driven dynamos, we present preliminary results on the nature of dynamo action due to modified flows derived by filtration from the full convective flow. The results suggest that filtering the flow fields has surprisingly little effect on the dynamo growth rates.
