Simulating the outer layers of rapidly rotating stars
Frank Robinson, Joel Tanner, Sarbani Basu
This paper presents the results of a set of radiative hydrodynamic (RHD) simulations of convection in the near-surface regions of a rapidly rotating star. The simulations use micro…
On Dissipation inside Turbulent Convection Zones from 3D Simulations of Solar Convection
Kaloyan Penev, Dimitar Sasselov, Frank Robinson +1
The development of 2D and 3D simulations of solar convection has lead to a picture of convection quite unlike the usually assumed Kolmogorov spectrum turbulent flow. We investigate…
Simulating the outer layers of Procyon A: a comparison with the Sun
F. J. Robinson, P. Demarque, D. B. Guenther +2
Compared to the Sun, the atmospheric structure and convective flow in Procyon A exhibit the following characteristics: (1) the highly superadiabatic transition layer (SAL) is locat…
3D convection simulations of the outer layers of the Sun using realistic physics
F. J. Robinson, P. Demarque, L. H. Li +4
This paper describes a series of 3D simulations of shallow inefficient convection in the outer layers of the Sun. The computational domain is a closed box containing the convection…
Inclusion of turbulence in solar modeling
L. H. Li, F. J. Robinson, P. Demarque +2
The general consensus is that in order to reproduce the observed solar p-mode oscillation frequencies, turbulence should be included in solar models. However, until now there has n…
A Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Compressible Convection: Differential Rotation in the Solar Convection Zone
Francis J. Robinson, Kwing L. Chan
We present results of two simulations of the convection zone, obtained by solving the full hydrodynamic equations in a section of a spherical shell. The first simulation has cylind…
