Comparison of two- and three-dimensional compressible convection in a pre-main sequence star
J. Pratt, I. Baraffe, T. Goffrey +4
Extending our recent studies of two-dimensional stellar convection to 3D, we compare three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to identically set-up two-dimensional simulations, f…
A well-balanced scheme for the simulation tool-kit A-MaZe: implementation, tests, and first applications to stellar structure
M. V. Popov, R. Walder, D. Folini +6
Characterizing stellar convection in multiple dimensions is a topic at the forefront of stellar astrophysics. Numerical simulations are an essential tool for this task. We present…
Lithium depletion in solar-like stars: effect of overshooting based on realistic multi-dimensional simulations
I. Baraffe, J. Pratt, T. Goffrey +5
We study lithium depletion in low-mass and solar-like stars as a function of time, using a new diffusion coefficient describing extra-mixing taking place at the bottom of a convect…
Extreme value statistics for two-dimensional convective penetration in a pre-Main Sequence star
J. Pratt, I. Baraffe, T. Goffrey +5
We examine a penetration layer formed between a central radiative zone and a large convection zone in the deep interior of a young low-mass star. Using the Multidimensional Stellar…
Spherical-shell boundaries for two-dimensional compressible convection in a star
J. Pratt, I. Baraffe, T. Goffrey +6
Context: We study the impact of two-dimensional spherical shells on compressible convection. Realistic profiles for density and temperature from a one-dimensional stellar evolution…
Multi-dimensional structure of accreting young stars
C. Geroux, I. Baraffe, M. Viallet +6
This work is the first attempt to describe the multi-dimensional structure of accreting young stars based on fully compressible time implicit multi-dimensional hydrodynamics simula…
