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…
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…
Properties of - and -modes in hydromagnetic turbulence
Nishant K. Singh, Axel Brandenburg, S. M. Chitre +1
With the ultimate aim of using the fundamental or -mode to study helioseismic aspects of turbulence-generated magnetic flux concentrations, we use randomly forced hydromagnetic…
A two-dimensional mixing length theory of convective transport
P. Lesaffre, S. M. Chitre, A. T. Potter +1
The helioseismic observations of the internal rotation profile of the Sun raise questions about the two-dimensional (2D) nature of the transport of angular momentum in stars. Here…
