Numerically determined transport laws for fingering ("thermohaline") convection in astrophysics
Adrienne Traxler, Pascale Garaud, Stephan Stellmach
We present the first three-dimensional simulations of fingering convection performed in a parameter regime close to the one relevant for astrophysics, and reveal the existence of s…
Dynamics of fingering convection II: The formation of thermohaline staircases
S. Stellmach, A. Traxler, P. Garaud +2
Regions of the ocean's thermocline unstable to salt fingering are often observed to host thermohaline staircases, stacks of deep well-mixed convective layers separated by thin stab…
Dynamics of fingering convection I: Small-scale fluxes and large-scale instabilities
A. Traxler, S. Stellmach, P. Garaud +2
Double-diffusive instabilities are often invoked to explain enhanced transport in stably-stratified fluids. The most-studied natural manifestation of this process, fingering convec…
Gyroscopic pumping of large-scale flows in stellar interiors, and application to Lithium Dip stars
Pascale Garaud, Peter Bodenheimer
The maintenance of large-scale differential rotation in stellar convective regions by rotationally influenced convective stresses also drives large-scale meridional flows by angula…
