A self-consistent model of the solar tachocline
Toby S. Wood, Nicholas H. Brummell
We present a local but fully nonlinear model of the solar tachocline, using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations. The tachocline forms naturally as a statistically steady…
Transport by meridional circulations in solar-type stars
Toby S. Wood, Nicholas H. Brummell
Transport by meridional flows has significant consequences for stellar evolution, but is difficult to capture in global-scale numerical simulations because of the wide range of tim…
A new model for mixing by double-diffusive convection (semi-convection): I. The conditions for layer formation
Giovanni M. Mirouh, Pascale Garaud, Stephan Stellmach +2
The process referred to as "semi-convection" in astrophysics and "double-diffusive convection in the diffusive regime" in Earth and planetary sciences, occurs in stellar and planet…
