Unipolar outflows and global meridional circulations in rotating accretion flows
Using two-dimensional simulations of non-radiative viscous rotating black hole accretion flows, we show that the flows with α ∼ 0.1 − 0.3 self-organize to form stationary unipolar or bipolar outflows accompanied by global meridional circulations. The required energy comes, with efficiency ∼ 0.001 − 0.01, from the matter directly accreted onto black hole. Observational implications are discussed.
متن کاملPlumes in stellar convection zones
All numerical simulations of compressible convection reveal the presence of strong downwards directed flows. Thanks to helioseismology, such plumes have now been detected also at the top of the solar convection zone, on supergranular scales. Their properties may be crudely described by adopting Taylor’s turbulent entrainment hypothesis, whose validity is well established under various condition...
متن کاملDifferential Rotation and Meridional Circulation in Global Models of Solar Convection
In the outer envelope of the Sun and in other stars, differential rotation and meridional circulation are maintained via the redistribution of momentum and energy by convective motions. In order to properly capture such processes in a numerical model, the correct spherical geometry is essential. In this paper I review recent insights into the maintenance of mean flows in the solar interior obta...
متن کاملOn magnetic instabilities and dynamo action in stellar radiation zones
Context. We examine the MHD instabilities arising in the radiation zone of a differentially rotating star, in which a poloidal field of fossil origin is sheared into a toroidal field. Aims. We focus on the non-axisymmetric instability that affects the toroidal magnetic field in a rotating star, which was first studied by Pitts and Tayler in the non-dissipative limit. If such an instability were...
متن کاملNonlinear Pulsations of Convective Stellar Models
We review the numerical modelling of the nonlinear pulsations of classical variable stars with hydrocodes that include the effects of turbulent convection. Despite their simplicity these turbulent convective recipes appear to remove many of the difficulties that radiative codes faced. In particular, the numerical modelling of double mode pulsations has become possible.
