Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the Tayler instability
arXiv:1111.1742 · doi:10.1017/S1743921312004644
Abstract
The chiral symmetry breaking properties of the Tayler instability are discussed. Effective amplitude equations are determined in one case. This model has three free parameters that are determined numerically. Comparison with chiral symmetry breaking in biochemistry is made.
