Magnetic flux concentrations from turbulent stratified convection
Context. The formation of magnetic flux concentrations within the solar convection zone leading to sunspot formation is unexplained. Aims. We study the self-organization of initially uniform sub-equipartition magnetic fields by highly stratified turbulent convection. Methods. We perform simulations of magnetoconvection in Cartesian domains representing the uppermost 8.5−24 Mm of the solar conve...
متن کاملTrends Turbulent convection
Convection in a fluid heated from below, known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection, is an important turbulent process that occurs in the sun, planetary atmospheres, industrial manufacturing, and many other places. Physicists and engineers have made much progress in understanding this phenomenon in simple laboratory geometries, but still have a way to go before they are able to extrapolate to the extr...
متن کاملEffect of heat flux on differential rotation in turbulent convection.
We studied the effect of the turbulent heat flux on the Reynolds stresses in a rotating turbulent convection. To this end we solved a coupled system of dynamical equations which includes the equations for the Reynolds stresses, the entropy fluctuations, and the turbulent heat flux. We used a spectral tau approximation in order to close the system of dynamical equations. We found that the ratio ...
متن کاملEffect of large-scale coherent structures on turbulent convection.
We study an effect of large-scale coherent structures on global properties of turbulent convection in laboratory experiments in air flow in a rectangular chamber with aspect ratios A approximately 2 and A approximately 4 (with the Rayleigh numbers varying in the range from 5x10;{6} to 10;{8} ). The large-scale coherent structures comprise the one-cell and two-cell flow patterns. We found that a...
متن کاملSolar dynamo models with α-effect and turbulent pumping from local 3D convection calculations
Results from kinematic solar dynamo models employing α-effect and turbulent pumping from local convection calculations are presented. We estimate the magnitude of these effects to be around 2–3 m s, having scaled the local quantities with the convective velocity at the bottom of the convection zone from a solar mixing-length model. Rotation profile of the Sun as obtained from helioseismology is...
