A new two-columns description for convective transport in stars

چکیده

Assuming that the largest convective patterns generate the majority of convective transport, we devise a numerical scheme simplifying the convective velocity field using two parallel radial columns to represent upand downstream flows. Horizontal exchange is described by fluid flow and radiation over the interface between those two columns. The main parameters of this convective description have a straightforward geometrical meaning, namely the diameter of the columns (representing the size of the convective cells) and the ratio of cross section between upand downdrafts. For this geometrical setup, the equations of radiation hydrodynamics are solved time-dependently using an implicit scheme which has the advantage of being devoid of any time step limits. In order to demonstrate our approach, we present comparisons with detailed 2D hydrodynamics computations for the example of convection zones in Cepheids.

A two-columns formalism for time-dependent modelling of stellar convection I. Description of the method

Context. Despite all advances in multi-dimensional hydrodynamics, investigations of stellar evolution and stellar pulsations still depend on one-dimensional computations. The present work devises an alternative to the mixing length theory or turbulence models usually adopted for the modelling of convective transport in such studies. Aims. A time dependent description of convection which grasps ...

A Fast Algorithm for Covering Rectangular Orthogonal Polygons with a Minimum Number of r-Stars

Introduction This paper presents an algorithm for covering orthogonal polygons with minimal number of guards. This idea examines the minimum number of guards for orthogonal simple polygons (without holes) for all scenarios and can also find a rectangular area for each guards. We consider the problem of covering orthogonal polygons with a minimum number of r-stars. In each orthogonal polygon P,...

Mixing by internal waves III. Li and Be abundance dependence on spectral type, age and rotation

In this paper we deal with the problem of the generation of internal waves at the bottom of convective zone in solar-type stars, and with the transport process linked to the nonadiabatic propagation of these waves through the stable radiative region. The main improvement with respect to the previous papers in this series comes from the convection treatment chosen in order to describe the pertur...

بررسی اثر ساختمان خاک بر منحنی رخنه بروماید در شرایط رطوبتی اشباع و غیراشباع

In this study, the effect of soil structure under saturated and unsaturated flow conditions on nonreactive bromide (BR) transport was investigated. The soil structure treatments consisted of undisturbed columns (prismatic and granular structures), and disturbed columns (single- grain structure). A constant concentration (C0= 0.005 M) of bromide was supplied on the surface of the columns in a st...
