Yet making progress is challenging, in part because their dynamics involve three - dimensional,
turbulent fluid motions on the scale of a few meters, the nonlinear interaction of turbulence with the formation of cloud droplets, and the interaction of these cloud droplets with radiation (e.g. Wood (2012)-RRB-.
Using further 3 - D dynamo simulations, which model the generation of magnetic field by
turbulent fluid motions, Driscoll looked more carefully at the expected changes in the magnetic field over this period.

The data enabled the researchers to show that
turbulent motion increases the
fluid's ability to conduct electricity and therefore amplifies the magnetic field, rather than reducing it as earlier experiments had appeared to show.
Wouter Bos at the École Centrale de Lyon in France and his colleagues have now tracked a
turbulent fluid's
motion by picking one point and following it as the
fluid tosses it about.
Fluid flows can take one of two forms: well - ordered «laminar» or highly disordered «
turbulent»
motion.
For such flow profiles the processes that sustain and create
turbulent eddies fail and the
fluid gradually returns to smooth laminar
motion and it remained laminar until it reached the end of the pipe.
