Scale separated low viscosity dynamos and dissipation within the Earth’s core

The mechanism by which the Earth’s magnetic field is generated is thought to be thermal convection in the metallic liquid iron core. Here we present results of a suite of self-consistent spherical shell computations with ultra-low viscosities that replicate this mechanism, but using diffusivities of...
