Heat Transport and Dissipation in 2.5D Rotating Internally Heated and Cooled Convection
Tom Joshi-Hartley, Matthew K. Browning, Laura K. Currie +3
Models of astrophysical convection, such as mixing length theory, typically assume that the heat transport is independent of microphysical diffusivities. Such 'diffusion-free' beha…

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…
