A numerical study of the magnetic induction equation has been performed on von Karman type flows. These flows are generated by two co-axial counter-rotating propellers in cylindrical containers. Such devices are currently used in the von…
Kinematic simulations of the induction equation are carried out for different setups suitable for the von-K\'arm\'an-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment. Material properties of the flow driving impellers are considered by means of high…
Numerical studies of a kinematic dynamo based on von Karman type flows between two counterrotating disks in a finite cylinder are reported. The flow has been optimized using a water model experiment, varying the driving impellers…
The VKS experiment has evidenced dynamo action in a highly turbulent liquid sodium von K\'arm\'an flow [R. Monchaux et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98}, 044502 (2007)]. However, the existence and the onset of a dynamo happen to depend on the…
We report the observation of dynamo action in the VKS experiment, i.e., the generation of magnetic field by a strongly turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium. Both mean and fluctuating parts of the field are studied. The dynamo threshold…
We present hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of a liquid sodium flow using the compressible MHD code PLUTO to investigate the magnetic field regeneration in the Von-Karman-Sodium dynamo experiment. The aim of the study is to…
In the VKS2 (von K\'arm\'an Sodium 2) successful dynamo experiment of September 2006, the magnetic field that was observed showed a strong axisymmetric component, implying that non axisymmetric components of the flow field were acting. By…
We numerically examine dynamo action generated by a flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a precessing cylindrical cavity. We compare a simplified kinematic approach based on the solution of the magnetic induction equation with a…
We present hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of liquid sodium flow with the PLUTO compressible MHD code to investigate influence of magnetic boundary conditions on the collimation of helicoidal motions. We use a simplified…
We study the effect of different boundary conditions on the kinematic dynamo threshold of von Karman type swirling flows in a cylindrical geometry. Using an analytical test flow, we model different boundary conditions: insulating walls all…
We study the flow response to an externally imposed homogeneous magnetic field in a turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium -- the VKS2 experiment in which magnetic Reynolds numbers Rm up to 50 are reached. Induction effects are larger…
In the last decades, the experimental study of dynamo action has made great progress. However, after the dynamo experiments in Karlsruhe and Riga, the von-Karman-Sodium (VKS) dynamo is only the third facility that has been able to…
We consider a fluid dynamo model generated by the flow on both sides of a moving layer. The magnetic permeability of the layer is larger than that of the flow. We show that there exists an optimum value of magnetic permeability for which…
This study presents a controlled examination of the universality of the von Karman and additive coefficients in the logarithmic law of the mean streamwise velocity profile for high-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layers under…
We present magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of liquid sodium flow with the PLUTO compressible MHD code. We investigate the influence of the remnant magnetic field orientation and intensity, impinging velocity field due to Ekman pumping as…
The present work numerically investigates vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) of a two-dimensional circular cylinder with an axisymmetric slit at Reynolds number 500. The study examines the effects of slit shape (i.e., converging, diverging,…
We apply a new threshold detection method based on the extreme value theory to the von K\'arm\'an sodium (VKS) experiment data. The VKS experiment is a successful attempt to get a dynamo magnetic field in a laboratory liquid-metal…
We present numerical simulations of the magnetic field generated by the flow of liquid sodium driven by two counter-rotating impellers (VKS experiment). Using a dynamo kinematic code in cylindrical geometry, it is shown that different…
The conventional magnetic induction equation that governs hydromagnetic dynamo action is transformed into an equivalent integral equation system. An advantage of this approach is that the computational domain is restricted to the region…
Modal analysis of fluid flows is essential to understand flow physics and fluid-solid interaction mechanisms, and to implement flow control. Unlike unstable flow, the intrinsic attenuation of subcritical flow has led to failures to…
