Buoyant Magnetic Loops Generated by Global Convective Dynamo Action
Nicholas J. Nelson, Benjamin P. Brown, A. Sacha Brun +2
Our global 3D simulations of convection and dynamo action in a Sun-like star reveal that persistent wreaths of strong magnetism can be built within the bulk of the convention zone.…
Magnetic Wreaths and Cycles in Convective Dynamos
Nicholas J. Nelson, Benjamin P. Brown, A. Sacha Brun +2
Solar-type stars exhibit a rich variety of magnetic activity. Seeking to explore the convective origins of this activity, we have carried out a series of global 3D magnetohydrodyna…
Effects of Granulation upon Larger-Scale Convection
Neal Hurlburt, Marc DeRosa, Kyle Augustson +1
We examine the role of small-scale granulation in helping to drive supergranulation and even larger scales of convection. The granulation is modeled as localized cooling events int…
