  • Destruction of large-scale magnetic field in nonlinear simulations of the shear dynamo 

    Teed, Robert John; Proctor, Michael Richard (Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016-03-03)
    The Sun's magnetic field exhibits coherence in space and time on much larger scales than the turbulent convection that ultimately powers the dynamo. In the past the α-effect (mean-field) concept has been used to model the ...

  • Elastohydrodynamic synchronization of adjacent beating flagella 

    Goldstein, Raymond Ethan; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Pesci, Adriana Irma; Proctor, Michael Richard (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2016-11-01)
    It is now well established that nearby beating pairs of eukaryotic flagella or cilia typically synchronize in phase. A substantial body of evidence supports the hypothesis that hydrodynamic coupling between the active ...

  • Energy requirement for a working dynamo 

    Proctor, Michael Richard (Taylor & FrancisGeophysical & Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, 2015-10-13)
    There has for many years been interest in finding necessary conditions for dynamo action. These are usually expressed in terms of bounds on integrated properties of the flow. The bounds can clearly be improved when the ...

  • Quasi-cyclic behaviour in non-linear simulations of the shear dynamo 

    Teed, Robert John; Proctor, Michael Richard (Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-02-17)
    The solar magnetic field displays features on a wide range of length-scales including spatial and temporal coherence on scales considerably larger than the chaotic convection that generates the field. Explaining how the ...
