Abstract
The next generation dynamo experiment currently under development at
Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) will consist of a precessing
cylindrical container filled with liquid sodium. We perform numerical
simulations of kinematic dynamo action applying a velocity field that is
obtained from hydrodynamic models of a precession driven flow. So far, the
resulting magnetic field growth-rates remain below the dynamo threshold for
magnetic Reynolds numbers up to Rm=2000.
