光滑和粗糙边界球库埃特流运动发电机启动的模拟

Simulations of the kinematic dynamo onset of spherical Couette flows with smooth and rough boundaries

K. Finke, A. Tilgner

摘要:

数值研究了不可压缩导电流体填充两个同心球间隙时的发电机相变。在第一系列模拟中,流体由光滑内球通过无滑移边界条件的旋转驱动,而外球是静止的。在第二个系列中,旨在模拟粗糙表面的体积力在厚度为间隙宽度的十分之一的层内驱动靠近内球的流体。本文研究了湍流区边界层厚度对发电机阈值的影响。模拟结果表明,模拟粗糙表面的边界强迫降低了所需的旋转速率,这可能有助于改善球形发电机实验。

英文摘要:

We study numerically the dynamo transition of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid filling the gap between two concentric spheres. In a first series of simulations, the fluid is driven by the rotation of a smooth inner sphere through no-slip boundary conditions, whereas the outer sphere is stationary. In a second series a volume force intended to simulate a rough surface drives the fluid next to the inner sphere within a layer of thickness one tenth of the gap width. We investigate the effect of the boundary layer thickness on the dynamo threshold in the turbulent regime. The simulations show that the boundary forcing simulating the rough surface lowers the necessary rotation rate, which may help to improve spherical dynamo experiments.
