Toward an experimental von Kármán dynamo: Numerical studies for an optimized design

Numerical studies of a kinematic dynamo based on von Kármán type flows between two counterrotating disks in a finite cylinder are reported. The flow has been optimized using a water model experiment, varying the driving impellers’ configuration. A solution leading to dynamo action for the mean flow has been found. …
