Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient spherical harmonic transforms aimed at pseudospectral numerical simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a vectorized version of the spherical harmonic transform (SHT) algorithm based on the Gauss-Legendre quadrature has been implemented in the SHTns library, which includes scalar and vector transforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turbulent geodynamo simulations: a leap towards Earth's core

TL;DR: In this paper, a sequence of three convection-driven simulations in a rapidly rotating spherical shell is used to reach realistic turbulent regime in direct numerical simulations of the geodynamo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quasigeostrophic model of the instabilities of the Stewartson layer in flat and depth-varying containers

TL;DR: In this paper, a quasigeostrophic (QG) model was developed to enforce mass conservation properly, and valid for any container provided that the top and bottom have finite slopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rationale and geophysical evidence for quasi-geostrophic rapid dynamics within the Earth's outer core

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present arguments supporting the hypothesis that the flow in the Earth's core, for the time scales of the historical secular variation, is well described by a quasi-geostrophic (QG) model.
