Self-Consistent Evolution Models Show Weak Double-Diffusive Mixing in Jupiter and Saturn
J. R. Fuentes, Ankan Sur, David J. Stevenson +1
Double-diffusive convection in the ``fuzzy'' cores of giant planets has been widely discussed as a mechanism for redistributing heavy elements, but its efficiency in evolutionary m…

Gravity and Zonal Flows of Giant Planets: From the Euler Equation to the Thermal Wind Equation
Hao Cao, David J. Stevenson
Any nonspherical distribution of density inside planets and stars gives rise to a non-spherical external gravity and change of shape. If part or all of the observed zonal flows at…
