Numerical experiments of dynamo action relevant to Earth&#8217;s magnetic field have produced different regime branches identified within bifurcation diagrams [1,2]. Notable are distinct branches in which the resultant magnetic field is either weak or strong (when compared with the fluid flow). Weak-field solutions can be identified by the prominent role of viscosity and\/or inertia on the motion whereas the magnetic field has a leading order effect on the flow in strong-field solutions. Bistability between branches can be found within a small window of parameter space, as long theorised [3].<br>\u3000\u3000One measure of the success of numerical models of the geodynamo is the ability to replicate the expected balance between forces operating within Earth&#8217;s core; Coriolis (rotational) and Lorentz (magnetic) forces are predicted to be most important. Recent work has demonstrated the value in considering lengthscale dependent force balances [4] and \u2018gradient-free\u2019 solenoidal forces [5].<br>\u3000\u3000I will review the approach in numerically modelling spherical dynamos and the challenges in doing so. I will discuss the branches and bifurcations of dynamo action previously explored in numerical simulations. Furthermore, invoking recent results, I shall highlight that the expected force balance of Earth&#8217;s core can be preserved in the strong-field regime as input parameters of numerical simulations are moved towards more realistic values [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[1] E.

Although the magnetic field is usually stable and dominated by an axial dipole, geological records show that it has reversed its polarity many times in the past.<br>\u3000\u3000MHD simulations of the rotating spherical shell have reproduced these characteristics of the geomagnetic field and play a major role in understanding the dynamo process and the fluid dynamics in the outer core. For dipole reversals, numerical geodynamo simulations suggest that they are associated with a temporary strengthening of fluid motions that are asymmetric with respect to the equatorial plane. However, under the constraints imposed by Earth\u2019s rapid rotation, flow structures tend to favour equatorial symmetry.<br>\u3000\u3000In this study, we perform geodynamo simulations using the open-source code Calypso to investigate how energy is transferred between symmetric and antisymmetric flows during magnetic field reversals. We found that, before a reversal, less energy is transferred to maintain the magnetic field. In comparison, more energy is transferred from symmetric to antisymmetric flows, and more buoyancy energy is supplied directly to the antisymmetric flow. These results suggest that the advective inertial force plays a significant role in driving reversals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[\u304a\u554f\u5408\u305b] \u3000cg-sim<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 78px;\" src=\"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-content\/themes\/nifs-dev\/img\/img_mail.svg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:14px\">\u8208\u5473\u3092\u304a\u6301\u3061\u306e\u65b9\u306f\u3069\u306a\u305f\u3067\u3082\u3054\u53c2\u52a0\u3044\u305f\u3060\u3051\u307e\u3059\u304c\u3001\u60c5\u5831\u30bb\u30ad\u30e5\u30ea\u30c6\u30a3\u304a\u3088\u3073\u8cbf\u6613\u7ba1\u7406\u306e\u89b3\u70b9\u304b\u3089\u3001\u4e8b\u524d\u7533\u8fbc\u3092\u304a\u9858\u3044\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u304a\u7533\u8fbc\u307f\u306f\u3001\u6c0f\u540d\u3001\u6240\u5c5e\u3001\u8077\u540d\u307e\u305f\u306f\u5b66\u5e74\u3001\u9023\u7d61\u5148\u30e1\u30fc\u30eb\u30a2\u30c9\u30ec\u30b9\u3092\u660e\u8a18\u306e\u4e0a\u3001cg-sim<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 70px;\" src=\"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-content\/themes\/nifs-dev\/img\/img_mail.svg\" alt=\"\">\u00a0\u307e\u3067\u30e1\u30fc\u30eb\u306b\u3066\u304a\u9001\u308a\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002\u6298\u308a\u8fd4\u3057\u53c2\u52a0\u306e\u53ef\u5426\u3068\u63a5\u7d9a\u60c5\u5831\u3092\u304a\u77e5\u3089\u305b\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<br>\u5f53\u65e5\u3001\u53c2\u52a0\u8005\u540d\u7c3f\u3092\u4f5c\u6210\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u540d\u7c3f\u306f\u6cd5\u306b\u57fa\u3065\u3044\u3066\u958b\u793a\u3055\u308c\u308b\u5834\u5408\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<br>\u5404\u6240\u5c5e\u5927\u5b66\u30fb\u6a5f\u95a2\u306b\u304a\u3044\u3066\u7814\u7a76\u502b\u7406\u6559\u80b2\u3092\u53d7\u8b1b\u3057\u305f\u4e0a\u3067\u304a\u7533\u3057\u8fbc\u307f\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1986,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"ppma_author":[347],"class_list":["post-12292","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/12292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/12292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12306,"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/12292\/revisions\/12306"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1986"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/unit.nifs.ac.jp\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=12292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
