Model of deep zonal flows in giant planets
Laura K. Currie, Chris A. Jones
A mechanism by which the surface zonal flows of giant planets can be gradually attenuated with depth is explored. The zonal flow is driven by an imposed forcing in a thin layer nea…
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…
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…
