Bistable attractors in a model of convection-driven spherical dynamos

Fluid Dynamics 2015-06-04 v1 Geophysics

Abstract

The range of existence and the properties of two essentially different chaotic attractors found in a model of nonlinear convection-driven dynamos in rotating spherical shells are investigated. A hysteretic transition between these attractors is established as a function of the rotation parameter \ttau. The width of the basins of attraction is also estimated.
