The effects of numerical resolution on hydrodynamical surface convection simulations and spectral line formation
The computationally demanding nature of radiative-hydrodynamical simulations of stellar surface convection warrants an investigation of the sensitivity of the convective structure and spectral synthesis to the numerical resolution and dimension of the simulations, which is presented here. With too coarse a resolution the predicted spectral lines tend to be too narrow, reflecting insufficient Do...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of helical-vortex effects in Rayleigh-Bénard convection
A numerical approach is substantiated for searching for the large-scale alpha-like instability in thermoconvective turbulence. The main idea of the search strategy is the application of a forcing function which can have a physical interpretation. The forcing simulates the influence of smallscale helical turbulence generated in a rotating fluid with internal heat sources and is applied to natura...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Nonpenetrative Turbulent Thermal Convection
Nonpenetrative convection Ð in which the lower boundary condition is one of constant heat flux and the upper boundary is insulatedÐ is an idealization of penetrative convection, which finds application in the planetary boundary layer. Three-dimensional, unsteady, ( ) direct numerical simulations 96 = 96 = 128 have been performed of turbulent, nonpene7 trative thermal convection inside a cubical...
متن کاملOn the Origin of Solar Photospheric Turbulence: Granular Velocity Shear
We trace the Doppler velocity and turbulent velocity elds at diierent heights in the solar overshoot layers using absorption lines of diierent strengths in spec-trograms taken at the center of the solar disk. We show the results for one regular and one exploding granule as two representative examples. The convec-tive velocity patterns do not change with the height up to 200km above 5000 = 1, ne...
متن کاملGaussian Spectral Line Profiles of Astrophysical Masers
Calculations are performed to demonstrate the deviations from Gaussian that occur in the spectral line profiles of a linear maser as a result of the amplification process. Near-Gaussian profiles are presented for bright, interstellar 22 GHz water masers obtained from high resolution Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of W3 IRS 5. For the profiles to be so close to Gaussian, the calcul...
