The Unsteady Taylor--Vortex Dynamo is Fast
Liam O'Connor, Daniel Lecoanet, Geoffrey M. Vasil +6
Astrophysical and geophysical fluids commonly generate organized magnetic fields, despite having enormous magnetic Reynolds numbers and abundant small-scale turbulence. F…
Morphological Regimes of Rotating Moist Convection
Whitney T. Powers, Adrian E. Fraser, Evan H. Anders +2
Moist convection is a physical process where the latent heat released by condensation acts as a buoyancy source that can enhance or even trigger an overturning convective instabili…
Iterative Methods for Navier--Stokes Inverse Problems
Liam O'Connor, Daniel Lecoanet, Evan H. Anders +5
Even when the partial differential equation underlying a physical process can be evolved forward in time, the retrospective (backward in time) inverse problem often has its own cha…
Internally heated and fully compressible convection: flow morphology and scaling laws
Whitney T. Powers, Evan H. Anders, Benjamin P. Brown
In stars and planets natural processes heat convective flows in the bulk of a convective region rather than at hard boundaries. By characterizing how convective dynamics are determ…
Marginally-Stable Thermal Equilibria of Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Liam O'Connor, Daniel Lecoanet, Evan H. Anders
Natural convection is ubiquitous throughout the physical sciences and engineering, yet many of its important properties remain elusive. To study convection in a novel context, we d…
Convective dynamics with mixed temperature boundary conditions: why thermal relaxation matters and how to accelerate it
Evan H. Anders, Geoffrey M. Vasil, Benjamin P. Brown +1
Astrophysical simulations of convection frequently impose different thermal boundary conditions at the top and the bottom of the domain in an effort to more accurately model natura…
Accelerated evolution of convective simulations
Evan H. Anders, Benjamin P. Brown, Jeffrey S. Oishi
High Peclet number, turbulent convection is a classic system with a large timescale separation between flow speeds and the thermal relaxation time. In this paper, we present a meth…
Convective heat transport in stratified atmospheres at low and high Mach number
Evan H. Anders, Benjamin P. Brown
We study fully compressible convection in the context of plane-parallel, polytropically stratified atmospheres. We perform a suite of 2D and 3D simulations in which we vary the ini…
