The parameter for this simulations, performed with the XSHELLS spherical code are quite extreme:

Ek = 1e-7,  Ra = 2.4e13,  Pm = 0.1,  Pr = 1

also: Rm=590 and Re=5900.

The radial magnetic field at the surface of the conducting and convecting liquid is shown. It is truncated at spherical harmonic degree 84 before being rendered with matlplotlib.
