Viscous Dissipation and Dynamics in Simulations of Rotating, Stratified Plane-layer Convection
Simon R. W. Lance, Laura K. Currie, Matthew K. Browning
Convection in stars and planets must be maintained against viscous and Ohmic dissipation. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of viscous dissipation in simulations…
Simulations of solar and stellar dynamos and their theoretical interpretation
Petri J. Käpylä, Matthew K. Browning, Allan Sacha Brun +2
We review the state of the art of three dimensional numerical simulations of solar and stellar dynamos. We summarize fundamental constraints of numerical modelling and the techniqu…
Convection with Misaligned Gravity and Rotation: Simulations and Rotating Mixing Length Theory
Laura K. Currie, Adrian J. Barker, Yoram Lithwick +1
We present numerical simulations, using two complementary setups, of rotating Boussinesq thermal convection in a three-dimensional Cartesian geometry with misaligned gravity and ro…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Fundamental Physics with Brown Dwarfs: The Mass-Radius Relation
Adam Burgasser, Isabelle Baraffe, Matthew Browning +17
The lowest-mass stars, brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets span a minimum in the mass-radius relationship that probes the fundamental physics of extreme states of matter, magnetism,…
The Radius and Entropy of a Magnetized, Rotating Fully-convective Star: Analysis With Depth-dependent Mixing Length Theories
Lewis G. Ireland, Matthew K. Browning
Some low-mass stars appear to have larger radii than predicted by standard 1D structure models; prior work has suggested that inefficient convective heat transport, due to rotation…
The magnitude of viscous dissipation in strongly stratified two-dimensional convection
Laura K. Currie, Matthew K. Browning
Convection in astrophysical systems must be maintained against dissipation. Although the effects of dissipation are often assumed to be negligible, theory suggests that in strongly…
