A systematic experimental study of rapidly rotating spherical convection in water and liquid gallium (2001, background): “…presence of a magnetic field in the core is likely to affect the force balance to a considerable extent (Chandrasekhar, 1961; Brito et al., 1995; Aurnou and Olson, 2001), but we think that our results without a magnetic field are an important step towards a better understanding of the geodynamo.”
Fluid Mechanics of Liquid Metal Batteries (2017, background): “The critical Rayleigh number at which convection begins scales as Racrit / Ha(2) [112], as has been verified experimentally [115].”
