Convection with Misaligned Gravity and Rotation: Simulations and Rotating Mixing Length Theory
Laura K. Currie, Adrian J. Barker, Yoram Lithwick +1
We present numerical simulations, using two complementary setups, of rotating Boussinesq thermal convection in a three-dimensional Cartesian geometry with misaligned gravity and ro…
Generation of shear flows and vortices in rotating anelastic convection
Laura K. Currie, Steven M. Tobias
We consider the effect of stratification on systematic, large-scale flows generated in anelastic convection. We present results from three-dimensional numerical simulations of conv…
Convection-driven kinematic dynamos with a self-consistent shear flow
Laura K. Currie, Steven M. Tobias
It is widely accepted that astrophysical magnetic fields are generated by dynamo action. In many cases these fields exhibit organisation on a scale larger than that of the underlyi…
The magnitude of viscous dissipation in strongly stratified two-dimensional convection
Laura K. Currie, Matthew K. Browning
Convection in astrophysical systems must be maintained against dissipation. Although the effects of dissipation are often assumed to be negligible, theory suggests that in strongly…
Mean flow generation in rotating anelastic two-dimensional convection
Laura K. Currie, Steven M. Tobias
We investigate the processes that lead to the generation of mean flows in two-dimensional anelastic convection. The simple model consists of a plane layer that is rotating about an…
