Convective Differential Rotation in Stars and Planets II: Observational and Numerical Tests
Adam S. Jermyn, Shashikumar M. Chitre, Pierre Lesaffre +1
Differential rotation is central to a great many mysteries in stars and planets. In Part I we predicted the order of magnitude and scaling of the differential rotation in both hydr…
Convective Differential Rotation in Stars and Planets I: Theory
Adam S. Jermyn, Shashikumar M. Chitre, Pierre Lesaffre +1
We derive the scaling of differential rotation in both slowly- and rapidly-rotating convection zones using order of magnitude methods. Our calculations apply across stars and fluid…
Generation of CMB and Cosmological constant via bulk viscosity
Sanved Kolekar, S. Shankaranarayanan, S. M. Chitre
A simple model of uniformly expanding, homogeneous Universe with a bulk viscosity is studied wherein the inflationary density decays due to viscous dissipation during the expansion…
Enhanced Rotational Mixing in the Radiative Zones of Massive Stars
Adam S. Jermyn, Christopher A. Tout, Shashikumar M. Chitre
Convection in the cores of massive stars becomes anisotropic when they rotate. This anisotropy leads to a misalignment of the thermal gradient and the thermal flux, which in turn r…
Turbulence Closure for Mixing Length Theories
Adam S. Jermyn, Pierre Lesaffre, Christopher A. Tout +1
We present an approach to turbulence closure based on mixing length theory with three-dimensional fluctuations against a two-dimensional background. This model is intended to be ra…
Does Viscosity turn inflation into the CMB and
D. Lynden-Bell, S. M. Chitre
Consideration of the entropy production in the creation of the CMB leads to a simple model of the evolution of the universe during this period which suggests a connection between t…
