Anisotropic convection in rotating proto-neutron stars
We study the conditions for convective instability in rotating, non-magnetic proto–neutron stars. The criteria that determine stability of nascent neutron stars are analogous to the Solberg–Høiland conditions but including the presence of lepton gradients. Our results show that, for standard angular velocity profiles, convectively unstable modes with wave-vectors parallel to the rotation axis a...
متن کاملStudies in Rotating Convection
This thesis presents an exploration and analysis of novel phenomena in RayleighBénard convection in a rotating cylinder using direct numerical simulation and equivariant bifurcation analysis. The numerical method used is a second order predictorcorrector method using Chebyshev collocation in the radial and axial directions and a Fourier-Galerkin discretization in the azimuthal direction. This n...
متن کاملHeat Transport in Rotating Convection
We derive upper bounds for the Nusselt number in innnite Prandtl-number rotating convection. The bounds decay algebraically with Taylor number to the conductive heat transport value; the decay rate depends on boundary conditions. We show moreover that when the rotation is fast enough the purely conductive solution is the globally and nonlinearly attractive xed point; the critical rotation rate ...
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 کاملAnisotropic turbulence in rotating magnetoconvection
Numerical simulations of the 3D MHD-equations that describe rotating magnetoconvection in a Cartesian box have been performed using the code NIRVANA. The characteristics of large-scale quantities like the turbulence intensity and the turbulent heat flux that are caused by the average action of the small-scale fluctuations are computed directly from the fluctuating primitive variables. and the e...
