Solar Tachocline Confinement by the Nonaxisymmetric Modes of a Dynamo Magnetic Field

We recently presented the first 3D numerical simulation of the solar interior for which tachocline confinement was achieved by a dynamo-generated magnetic field. In this follow-up study, we analyze the degree of confinement as the magnetic field strength changes (controlled by varying the magnetic P...
