The rotational influence on solar convection
Geoffrey M. Vasil, Keith Julien, Nicholas A. Featherstone
This paper considers the dominant dynamical, thermal and rotational balances within the solar convection zone. The reasoning is such that: Coriolis forces balance pressure gradient…
Aspect ratio affects iceberg melting
Eric W. Hester, Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese +2
Iceberg meltwater is a critical freshwater flux from the cryosphere to the oceans. Global climate simulations therefore require simple and accurate parameterisations of iceberg mel…
Single-hemisphere dynamos in M-dwarf stars
Benjamin P. Brown, Jeffrey S. Oishi, Geoffrey M. Vasil +2
M-dwarf stars below a certain mass are convective from their cores to their photospheres. These fully convective objects are extremely numerous, very magnetically active, and the l…
Improved phase-field models of melting and dissolution in multi-component flows
Eric W. Hester, Louis-Alexandre Couston, Benjamin Favier +2
We develop and analyse the first second-order phase-field model to combine melting and dissolution in multi-component flows. This provides a simple and accurate way to simulate cha…
Convective dynamics with mixed temperature boundary conditions: why thermal relaxation matters and how to accelerate it
Evan H. Anders, Geoffrey M. Vasil, Benjamin P. Brown +1
Astrophysical simulations of convection frequently impose different thermal boundary conditions at the top and the bottom of the domain in an effort to more accurately model natura…
