“…Convection in a rotating spherical fluid shell provides one of the fundamental models for understanding the large-scale motions and the magnetic fields observed in many geophysical, planetary and astrophysical systems, see (Jones 2011, Glatzmaier 2013, Busse and Simitev 2015. Thermal and compositional convection occur, for instance, in Earth's outer core which is composed mostly of iron and nickel, alloyed to lighter elements, supposedly silicon, sulphur and oxygen (Jeanloz 1990).…”

“…It is also a key ingredient for their habitability. As such, it has been the subject of numerous studies since the seminal work of Larmor and Joseph (1919), and it remains today an active and challenging research domain for theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches (see, e.g., Busse & Simitev, 2015;Cardin & Olson, 2015;Christensen & Wicht, 2015;Roberts, 2015). One of the prevailing questions is the source of fluid motions.…”

“…Paleomagnetism and astrophysical studies disclosed the present or past existence of a magnetic field in telluric planets and satellites in our solar system [Stevenson, 2003;Busse and Simitev, 2015;Connerney, 2015]. The core dynamo process that converts kinetic energy into magnetic energy by dynamic motions in the liquid core is the most plausible mechanism for generating a long-lived magnetic field in the rocky planets and satellites [Stevenson, 2003].…”
