Abstract
We present a new web tool, Planetary Dynamo Simulation Explorer, to survey available published simulations of rapidly rotating spherical dynamos.With numerical codes and computers being increasingly efficient, recent years have seen a surge in the number of publications presenting such computations.Our tool comes as an interactive catalogue that allows exploring existing dynamos with respect to input and output dimensionless parameters, choosing from various dynamo setups (e.g. choice of boundary conditions, couplings at play, etc.), with the possibility to test scaling laws on a filtered set of simulations.It also links each dynamo to its associated publication and possibly to online datasets. Alongside the cataloguing work, and to enhance comparability across various setups, conversion rules are explicitly derived and aggregated from previous studies and applied on a broad scale for the first time.Thought of as a collaborative and scalable initiative, the web interface allows uploading new simulation metadata.The whole interface, displayed as a website, is designed for the community to have a better overview while driving transparency, open-source initiatives, and FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).We encourage the community to explore and contribute to it at https://geodyn.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/explorer/
