Single-hemisphere dynamos in M-dwarf stars

Benjamin P. Brown, Jeffrey S. Oishi, Geoffrey M. Vasil +2

M-dwarf stars below a certain mass are convective from their cores to their photospheres. These fully convective objects are extremely numerous, very magnetically active, and the l…

Improved phase-field models of melting and dissolution in multi-component flows

Eric W. Hester, Louis-Alexandre Couston, Benjamin Favier +2

We develop and analyse the first second-order phase-field model to combine melting and dissolution in multi-component flows. This provides a simple and accurate way to simulate cha…

The Magnetorotational Instability Prefers Three Dimensions

Jeffrey S. Oishi, Geoffrey M. Vasil, Morgan Baxter +4

The magnetorotational instability (MRI) occurs when a weak magnetic field destabilises a rotating, electrically conducting fluid with inwardly increasing angular velocity. The MRI…

Linearly forced fluid flow on a rotating sphere

Rohit Supekar, Vili Heinonen, Keaton J. Burns +1

We investigate generalized Navier-Stokes (GNS) equations that couple nonlinear advection with a generic linear instability. This analytically tractable minimal model for fluid flow…

Low-frequency variability in massive stars: Core generation or surface phenomenon?

Daniel Lecoanet, Matteo Cantiello, Eliot Quataert +6

Bowman et al. (2019) reported low-frequency photometric variability in 164 O- and B-type stars observed with K2 and TESS. They interpret these motions as internal gravity waves, wh…

Dedalus: A Flexible Framework for Numerical Simulations with Spectral Methods

Keaton J. Burns, Geoffrey M. Vasil, Jeffrey S. Oishi +2

Numerical solutions of partial differential equations enable a broad range of scientific research. The Dedalus Project is a flexible, open-source, parallelized computational framew…
