Swaying oscillations in Rayleigh-Bénard convection cast new light on solar convection

F. Kupka, D. Fabbian, F. Zaussinger +2

Horizontally-periodic Boussinesq Rayleigh-Bénard Convection (RBC) is a simple model system to study the formation of large-scale structures in turbulent convective flows. We perfor…

Layer formation in double-diffusive convection over resting and moving heated plates

Florian Zaussinger, Friedrich Kupka

We present a numerical study of double-diffusive convection characterized by a stratification unstable to thermal convection while at the same time a mean molecular weight (or solu…

Mixing and Overshooting in Surface Convection Zones of DA White Dwarfs: First Results from ANTARES

F. Kupka, F. Zaussinger, M. H. Montgomery

We present results of a large, high resolution 3D hydrodynamical simulation of the surface layers of a DA white dwarf (WD) with K and using the ANTA…

The effects of rotation on a double-diffusive layer in a rotating spherical shell

Patrick Blies, Friedrich Kupka, Florian Zaussinger +1

So far, numerical studies of double-diffusive layering in turbulent convective flows have neglected the effects of rotation. We undertake a first step into that direction by invest…

Realistic Simulations of Stellar Surface Convection with ANTARES: I. Boundary Conditions and Model Relaxation

H. Grimm-Strele, F. Kupka, B. Löw-Baselli +3

We have implemented open boundary conditions into the ANTARES code to increase the realism of our simulations of stellar surface convection. Even though we greatly benefit from the…

Semiconvection: numerical simulations

F. Zaussinger, H. Spruit

A grid of numerical simulations of double-diffusive convection is presented for the astrophysical case where viscosity (Prandtl number Pr) and solute diffusivity (Lewis number Le)…

Semiconvection

F. Zaussinger, H. C. Spruit

A grid of numerical simulations of double-diffusive convection is presented for astrophysical conditions. As in laboratory and geophysical cases convection takes place in a layered…

Simulations of stellar convection, pulsation and semiconvection

Herbert J. Muthsam, Friedrich Kupka, Eva Mundprecht +3

We report on modelling in stellar astrophysics with the ANTARES code. First, we describe properties of turbulence in solar granulation as seen in high-resolution calculations. Then…
