Liquid Sodium Models of the Earth's Outer Core

了解地球磁场的起源和动力学是这项研究的主要目标。在液态钠中进行的实验室实验用于获得类似灶台的参数，以研究流体流动-磁场相互作用。了解湍流、地球自转和地核磁力的作用是研究中要解决的主要问题。该项目包括与参与地球动力学模拟的研究人员合作，以协助对计算模型进行基准测试。这项研究还寻求通过培训年轻科学家和公共宣传活动来扩大其影响。本科生和研究生研究人员在项目科学活动中起着至关重要的作用。未来科学家的培养是本实验研究的重要组成部分。通过讲座、参与电视纪录片和在科学新闻杂志上发表文章，该项目旨在提高公众对地球动力学和地球物理实验的科学认识和认识。莱斯罗普

Understanding the origin and dynamics of the Earth's magneticfield is the primary goal of this research. Laboratoryexperiments conducted in liquid sodium are used to reachEarth-like parameters to study fluid flow-magnetic fieldinteractions. Understanding the role of turbulence, globalrotation, and magnetic forces on the Earth's core are primaryissues addressed in the research. This project includesworking in collaboration with researchers involved insimulations of the geodynamo, in order to assist inbenchmarking computational models. This research also seeksto broaden its impact through the training of youngscientists, and through public outreach activities.Undergraduate and graduate researchers play a critical partin the project scientific activities. The mentoring offuture scientists is an important part in this experimentalresearch. Through lectures, participation in televisiondocumentaries, and by articles in scientific news magazines,this project seeks to improve the public appreciation andknowledge of science relating to the geodynamo and geophysicsexperiments.Lathrop
