Turbulent Compressible Convection with Rotation - Penetration above a Convection Zone
We perform Large eddy simulations of turbulent compressible convection in stellar-type convection zones by solving the Naviér-Stokes equations in three dimensions. We estimate the extent of penetration into the stable layer above a stellar-type convection zone by varying the rotation rate (Ω), the inclination of the rotation vector (θ) and the relative stability (S) of the upper stable layer Th...
متن کامل3-D Simulations of Turbulent Compressible Convection
Three{dimensional simulations of turbulent and fully compressible thermal convection in deep atmospheres are presented and analyzed in terms of velocity power spectra, mixing{length theory, and production of vorticity. Density contrasts across these convective layers are typically around 11. The uid model is that of an ideal gas with a constant thermal conductivity. The Piecewise-Parabolic Meth...
متن کاملEfficient Turbulent Compressible Convection in the Deep Stellar Atmosphere
This paper reports an application of gas-kinetic BGK scheme to the computation of turbulent compressible convection in the stellar interior. After incorporating the Subgrid Scale (SGS) turbulence model into the BGK scheme, we tested the effects of numerical parameters on the quantitative relationships among the thermodynamic variables, their fluctuations and correlations in a very deep, initial...
متن کاملTrends Turbulent convection
Convection in a fluid heated from below, known as Rayleigh-Bénard convection, is an important turbulent process that occurs in the sun, planetary atmospheres, industrial manufacturing, and many other places. Physicists and engineers have made much progress in understanding this phenomenon in simple laboratory geometries, but still have a way to go before they are able to extrapolate to the extr...
متن کاملTurbulent Thermal Convection with an Obstructed Sidewall
We present an experimental study of turbulent convection in a cell with staggered fingers on its sidewall using water as the convecting fluid. Our measurements reveal that Nu , Ra20.27, and that the temperature probability density function (PDF) at the cell center is a double-peaked function which can be fitted by the superposition of two Gaussians. Moreover, it is found that the size of the lo...
