Turbulent mixing and layer formation in double-diffusive convection: 3D numerical simulations and theory
Erica Rosenblum, Pascale Garaud, Adrienne Traxler +1
Double-diffusive convection, often referred to as semi-convection in astrophysics, occurs in thermally and compositionally stratified systems which are stable according to the Ledo…
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 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…
A model of the entropy flux and Reynolds stress in turbulent convection
Pascale Garaud, Gordon I. Ogilvie, Neil Miller +1
We propose a closure model for the transport of entropy and momentum in astrophysical turbulence, intended for application to rotating stellar convective regions. Our closure model…
