Effects of Shell Thickness on Cross-Helicity Generation in Convection-Driven Spherical Dynamos

The relative importance of the helicity and cross-helicity electromotive dynamo effects for self-sustained magnetic field generation by chaotic thermal convection in rotating spherical shells is investigated as a function of shell thickness. Two distinct branches of dynamo solutions are found to coe...
