Magnetic structure, dipole reversals, and 1/f noise in resistive MHD spherical dynamos

A parametric study of the magnetic dipole behavior in resistive incompressible magnetohydrodynamics inside a rotating sphere is performed, using direct numerical simulations and considering Reynolds and Ekman numbers as controlling parameters. The tendency is to obtain geodynamolike magnetic dipole...
