If you have a question about this talk, please contact Laurène Jouve. The dynamo instability has been observed experimentally in a turbulent swirling flow of liquid sodium, driven by the counter rotation of two disks. In certain regimes, the magnetic field displays complex dynamics such as random or periodic reversals. I will first review the experimental results and then present a mechanism that explains all the observed dynamical regimes. This mechanism relies on the competition between two modes of the magnetic field and also provides a simple explanation of the reversals of Earth’s magnetic field, despite strong differences between both systems. I finally show that hemispherical dynamos are also simply understood in this framework. This talk is part of the DAMTP Astro Mondays series. This talk is included in these lists:
