Tidal heating and convection in Io
[1] The prodigious heat flux emitted from the surface of Jupiter’s moon Io is produced in the interior of the satellite by viscoelastic dissipation of tidal energy and is generally thought to be brought to the surface by convective motions. New models of Io’s equilibrium thermal state are constructed using self-consistent calculations of tidal heating and convective heat transport. These models...
متن کاملInfluence of aspect ratio in convection due to nonuniform heating
The influence of fluid depth in a convection problem in which heating is nonuniform is studied. We consider a vessel that has at the bottom a temperature distribution which has Gaussian shape in the transversal direction and whose surface is open to the atmosphere. Coupled buoyancy and thermocapillary effects are taken into account. The results confirm a stationary bifurcation and a prelude of ...
متن کاملConvection flows driven by laser heating of a liquid layer.
When a fluid is heated by the absorption of a continuous laser wave, the fluid density decreases in the heated area. This induces a pressure gradient that generates internal motion of the fluid. Due to mass conservation, convection eddies emerge in the sample. To investigate these laser-driven bulk flows at the microscopic scale, we built a setup to perform temperature measurements with a fluor...
متن کاملAcross-channel distribution of the mean and tidal flows in the Khuran Channel, Persian Gulf, Iran
The Khuran Channel, Southern Iran (26°45’N), is a topographically complex channel which is open at both ends. Owning to its particular geometry, this narrow channel is subjected to strong tidal currents.Across-channel distribution of the mean and tidal flows were obtained over a semidiurnal tidal cycle in the Khuran Channel where the highest tidal velocity in the third day of the seco...
متن کاملGeneration of Mean Flows in a Rotating Convection Layer
The instability of convection rolls in a fluid layer heatet from below is studied in the case where the layer rotates about an axis slightly inclined with respect to the vertical. The inclination destroys the horizontal isotropy of the layer, but the instability of rolls found by Küppers and Lortz [1] is little affected as long as the angle of inclination is small. A new effect is the generatio...
