Diffusion in differentially rotating stars
A linear stability analysis of rotating Boussinesq flows including shear, μ-gradients and radiation losses leads to modification of the classical Ledoux criterion for convective equilibrium. The role of shear in spreading the radial extent of the convective layers is briefly investigated, and we found that some effects may be expected in the latest nuclear evolutionary stages of massive stars, ...
متن کاملInstability Associated Baroclinic Critical Layers in Rotating Stratified Shear Flow
The notion of over-reflection has been used to rationalize the linear instability of shear flows that are directed and sheared in a horizontal plane but stratified and subject to rotation in the vertical. In the linear stability analysis of these types of flows, two types of critical levels may appear that translate to singular points in the corresponding differential eigenvalue problem. The fi...
متن کاملMixing zones in magnetized differentially rotating stars
We study the secular instability of magnetized differentially rotating radiative zones taking account of viscosity and magnetic and thermal diffusivities. The considered instability generalizes the well-known Goldreich-Schubert-Fricke instability for the case of a sufficiently strong nagnetic field. In magnetized stars, instability can lead to a formation of non-spherical unstable zones where w...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic instability in differentially rotating compressible flow
Transport of angular momentum is one of the thrust areas of astrophysical flows. Instabilities and hence the turbulence generated by it has been invoked to understand its role in angular momentum transport in hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic regime. Investigation of an unexplored region described by the parameter space Ω e < 0, Ωe being the epicyclic frequency, resulted in a powerful magnet...
متن کاملHydromagnetic instability in differentially rotating flows.
We study the stability of compressible differentially rotating flows in the presence of the magnetic field, and we show that the compressibility profoundly alters the previous results for a magnetized incompressible flow. The necessary condition of newly found instability can be easily satisfied in various flows in laboratory and astrophysical conditions and reads BsBphiOmega' not equal to 0, w...
