Magnetic Field Generation by Conductive Fluid Shear Flow |
AbstractMathematical models of kinetic laminary hydromagnetic dynamo both for the plane Couette flow and differentially rotating spherical liquid core of the Earth are considered. Threshold values of the magnetic Reynolds number were estimated, taking into account the non-conductivity of limiting shells. Illustrative maps for magnetic fields and currents are presented. Obtained results support tidal hypothesis for the planetary dynamo energetic driver. |
