Time Dependent Multimode Hexagonal Magnetoconvection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
The time dependent multimode equations for magnetoconvection have been solved numerically for a range of parameter values and cell sizes. The solutions demonstrate the nonlinear interactions between the different scales of motion and how the induced magnetic field is concentrated into the smaller length scale. The generation of mean kinetic and magnetic helicity occurs at low Prandtl number which has significant physical interpretations in the solar situation.
