cod_nusselt.dat

Nusselt number calculations performed assuming conductive profile of

\[ T^\text{cond} = \frac{-A}{r} + B,~~\frac{\partial T^\text{cond}}{\partial r} = \frac{A}{r^2}, \]

where \(A=(r_i\times r_o)/(r_i-r_o)\), \(~B=-r_i~\) for fixed temperature (\(\Delta T=1\)), and \(~A = -1\), \(~B=0\) for fixed flux.

cod_spectrum

Before the dynamo code was capable of doubly-diffusive convection, only one buoyancy source was present, called the codensity. This buoyancy field is set as the thermal buoyancy source for double diffusive convection. The first half of this table contains data for harmonic degree \(l\). A two-line space at the end is followed by the data for harmonic order \(m\).
