On 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 کاملTransient moist baroclinic instability
The non-modal transient properties of the Eady baroclinic model with a simple heating parameterization are examined. The time-dependent non-modal behavior of the moist baroclinic model is investigated by calculating the energy amplification of optimal perturbations for relevant time-scales and by calculating the energy evolution of random initial conditions. Enhanced non-modal growth on time-sc...
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 کاملBaroclinic Instability and Loss of Balance
Under the influences of stable density stratification and Earth’s rotation, large-scale flows in the ocean and atmosphere have a mainly balanced dynamics— sometimes called the slow manifold—in the sense that there are diagnostic hydrostatic and gradient-wind momentum balances that constrain the fluid acceleration. The nonlinear Balance Equations are a widely successful, approximate model for th...
متن کاملThe nonlinear downstream development of baroclinic instability
The downstream development in both space and time of baroclinic instability is studied in a nonlinear channel model on the f -plane. The model allows the development of the instability to be expressed on space and time scales that are long compared to the growth rates and wavelengths of the most unstable wave. The unstable system is forced by time-varying boundary conditions at the origin of th...
