Predicted surface magnetic field strength B surf from our transport models, normalized by the initial field B 0, as a function of the initial size of the convection zone R surf,0, for two different masses, and for two assumptions on the turbulent diffusivity. We show B surf at three different time evolution from the onset of the crystallization. We see that for smaller R surf,0 the predicted B surf can be larger in certain cases when considering turbulent diffusivity, whereas the opposite behavior occurs for larger R surf,0.
