On shear-induced turbulence in rotating stars
We review various prescriptions which have been proposed for the turbulent transport of matter and angular momentum in differentially rotating stellar radiation zones. A new prescription is presented for the horizontal transport associated with the anisotropic shear turbulence which is produced by the differential rotation in latitude; this ‘β-viscosity’ is drawn from torque measurements in the...
متن کاملRotating stars in relativity
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state of matter at extremely high densities and because they are considered to be promising sources of gravitational waves. The latest theoretical understanding of rotating stars in relativity is reviewed in this upd...
متن کاملMass - loss induced instabilities in fast rotating stars
To explain the origin of Herbig Ae/Be stars activity, it has been recently proposed that strong mass-losses trigger rotational instabilities in the envelope of fast rotating stars. The kinetic energy transferred to turbulent motions would then be the energy source of the active phenomena observed in the outer atmosphere of Herbig Ae/Be stars (Vigneron et al. 1990;Lignì eres et al. 1996). In thi...
متن کاملSymmetry in Anisotropic Rotating Turbulence
In the turbulence that takes place in rotating fluids, the symmetry assumptions of the theory of fully developed turbulence may not hold, in particular, isotropy must be relaxed to axial symmetry. This symmetry reduction leads one to consider the most general axisymmetric viscosity tensor for a Newtonian fluid, which can be obtained by group theory methods. This tensor generates new turbulent e...
متن کاملDimensional transition in rotating turbulence.
In this work we investigate, by means of direct numerical hyperviscous simulations, how rotation affects the bidimensionalization of a turbulent flow. We study a thin layer of fluid, forced by a two-dimensional forcing, within the framework of the "split cascade" in which the injected energy flows both to small scales (generating the direct cascade) and to large scale (to form the inverse casca...
