Helioseismic Estimation of Convective Overshoot in the Sun
By using the periodic signal present in the frequencies of oscillation due to the base of the solar convection zone, Monteiro, Christensen-Dalsgaard & Thompson (1994) gave an upper limit to the extent of a layer of convective overshooting in the Sun. Alternative studies (Roxburgh & Vorontsov, 1994) have suggested that it may not be possible to do so since the amplitude of the signal does not va...
متن کاملThe evolution of AGB stars with convective overshoot
The influence of extended convective mixing (overshoot) on asymptotic giant branch stellar evolution is investigated in detail. The extended mixing is treated timedependently, and the efficiency declines exponentially with the geometric distance from the convective boundary. It has been considered at all convective boundaries, including the He-flash convection zone in the intershell region whic...
متن کاملConvective and non-convective mixing in AGB stars
We review the current state of modeling convective mixing in AGB stars. The focus is on results obtained through multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of AGB convection, both in the envelope and the unstable He-shell. Using two different codes and a wide range of resolutions and modeling assumptions we find that mixing across convective boundaries is significant for He-shell flash convecti...
متن کاملOld open clusters in the outer Galactic disk ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Context. The outer parts of the Milky Way disk are believed to be one of the main arenas where the accretion of external material in the form of dwarf galaxies and subsequent formation of streams is taking place. The Monoceros stream and the Canis Major and Argo over-densities are notorious examples. Understanding whether what we detect is the signature of accretion or, more conservatively, sim...
متن کاملScaling of convective mixing in porous media.
Convective mixing in porous media is triggered by a Rayleigh-Bénard-type hydrodynamic instability as a result of an unstable density stratification of fluids. While convective mixing has been studied extensively, the fundamental behavior of the dissolution flux and its dependence on the system parameters are not yet well understood. Here, we show that the dissolution flux and the rate of fluid ...
