Diffusion-Free Dynamics in Rotating Spherical Shell Convection Driven By Internal Heating and Cooling
Neil T. Lewis, Tom Joshi-Hartley, Steven M. Tobias +2
The bulk properties of convection in stellar and giant planet interiors are often assumed to be independent of the molecular diffusivities, which are very small. By contrast, simul…
Heat Transport and Dissipation in 2.5D Rotating Internally Heated and Cooled Convection
Tom Joshi-Hartley, Matthew K. Browning, Laura K. Currie +3
Models of astrophysical convection, such as mixing length theory, typically assume that the heat transport is independent of microphysical diffusivities. Such 'diffusion-free' beha…
Viscous Dissipation and Dynamics in Simulations of Rotating, Stratified Plane-layer Convection
Simon R. W. Lance, Laura K. Currie, Matthew K. Browning
Convection in stars and planets must be maintained against viscous and Ohmic dissipation. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of viscous dissipation in simulations…
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…
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…
The effect of magnetic field on mean flow generation by rotating two-dimensional convection
Laura K. Currie
Motivated by the significant interaction of convection, rotation and magnetic field in many astrophysical objects, we investigate the interplay between large-scale flows driven by…
