Magnetic effect on equilibrium tides and its influence on the orbital evolution of binary systems
Xing Wei
In the standard theory of equilibrium tides, hydrodynamic turbulence is considered. In this paper we study the effect of magnetic fields on equilibrium tides. We find that the turb…
Tidal dynamo in solar-like close binary stars
Xing Wei
Thermal convection is commonly believed to be the energy source of stellar or planetary dynamo. In this short paper we provide another possibility, namely large-scale tidal flow. I…
Estimations and scaling laws for stellar magnetic fields
Xing Wei
In rapidly rotating turbulence (Rossby number much less than unity), the standard mixing length theory for turbulent convection breaks and Coriolis force enters the force balance s…
Convectively coupled equatorial trapped waves in stars and planets
Tao Cai, Cong Yu, Xing Wei
In this paper, we have studied the convectively coupled equatorially trapped waves in rotating stars, with and without magnetic field. The equatorial trapped HD and MHD Poincaré, R…
Wave reflection and transmission at interface of convective and stably stratified regions in a rotating star or planet
Xing Wei
We use a simplified model to study wave reflection and transmission at interface of convective region and stably stratified region (e.g. radiative zone in star or stratification la…
Magnetic effect on dynamical tide in rapidly rotating astronomical objects
Xing Wei
By numerically solving the equations of rotating magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the magnetic effect on dynamical tide is studied. It is found that magnetic field has a significant imp…
