Results of simulations for different values of ohmic and thermal diffusivities (η = 106−1010 cm2/ s, κ = 105−1012 cm2/ s) and for a poloidal magnetic field amplitude of 5000 G. Green dot are simulations for which the tachocline is confined, while red dots are not confined. The solid and dashed lines indicate respectively the approximated transition between confined and unconfined tachoclines and the simulations where κ/η = 1. The dash-dotted line labels Γκ = 1 (see Eq. (16))
