Convectively driven vortex flows in the Sun
J. A. Bonet, I. Marquez, J. Sanchez Almeida +2
We have discovered small whirlpools in the Sun, with a size similar to the terrestrial hurricanes (<~0.5 Mm). The theory of solar convection predicts them, but they had remained el…
Strong Dynamo Action in Rapidly Rotating Suns
Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +3
Stellar dynamos are driven by complex couplings between rotation and turbulent convection, which drive global-scale flows and build and rebuild stellar magnetic fields. When stars…
Rapid Rotation, Active Nests of Convection and Global-scale Flows in Solar-like Stars
Benjamin P. Brown, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2
In the solar convection zone, rotation couples with intensely turbulent convection to build global-scale flows of differential rotation and meridional circulation. Our sun must hav…
