Abstract

Convection is the primary driver of magnetic fields in planets and stars. This self-generated magnetic field can then react back on the underlying convection by influencing its structure and dynamics. Numerical simulations are used to explore the convective dynamics in the presence of an externally imposed magnetic field that has a component perpendicular to gravity. New flow regimes are identified and their quantitative behavior is analyzed.
