Turbulence and magnetic spots at the surface of hot massive stars
Matteo Cantiello, Jonathan Braithwaite, Axel Brandenburg +3
Hot luminous stars show a variety of phenomena in their photospheres and in their winds which still lack clear physical explanations at this time. Among these phenomena are non-the…
3D MHD simulations of subsurface convection in OB stars
Matteo Cantiello, Jonathan Braithwaite, Axel Brandenburg +3
During their main sequence evolution, massive stars can develop convective regions very close to their surface. These regions are caused by an opacity peak associated with iron ion…
Turbulent transport in hydromagnetic flows
A. Brandenburg, P. Chatterjee, F. Del Sordo +3
The predictive power of mean-field theory is emphasized by comparing theory with simulations under controlled conditions. The recently developed test-field method is used to extrac…
Magnetorotational instability driven dynamos at low magnetic Prandtl numbers
Petri J. Käpylä, Maarit J. Korpi
Numerical simulations of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) with zero initial net flux in a non-stratified isothermal cubic domain are used to demonstrate the importance of ma…
Angular momentum transport in convectively unstable shear flows
Petri J. Käpylä, Axel Brandenburg, Maarit J. Korpi +2
Angular momentum transport owing to hydrodynamic turbulent convection is studied using local three dimensional numerical simulations employing the shearing box approximation. We de…
