Alleviating α quenching by solar wind and meridional flows
Aims. We study the ability of magnetic helicity expulsion to alleviate catastrophic α-quenching in mean field dynamos in two– dimensional spherical wedge domains. Methods. Motivated by the physical state of the outer regions of the Sun, we consider α2Ω mean field models with a dynamical α quenching. We include two mechanisms which have the potential to facilitate helicity expulsion, namely adve...
متن کاملOn rotationally driven meridional flows in stars
A quasi-steady-state model of the consequences of rotation on the hydrodynamical structure of a stellar radiative zone is derived by studying in particular the role of centrifugal and baroclinic driving of meridional motions in angular momentum transport. This non-linear problem is solved numerically, assuming axial symmetry of the system, and within some limits it is shown that there exist sim...
متن کاملMeridional Circulation and Global Solar Oscillations
We investigate the influence of large-scale meridional circulation on solar p-modes by quasi-degenerate perturbation theory, as proposed by Lavely and Ritzwoller (1992). As an input flow we use various models of stationary meridional circulation obeying the continuity equation. This flow perturbs the eigenmodes of an equilibrium model of the Sun. We derive the signatures of the meridional circu...
متن کاملMeridional Circulation and the Solar Magnetic Cycle
The Sun’s magnetic cycle manifests itself in an year periodic variation in the number of sunspots seen on the solar surface and a periodic reversal in the polarity of its large-scale magnetic fields. Exploring the origins of this magnetic cycle can unravel the physical mechanisms at work in the interior of magnetized stars like the Sun. Such studies are also important for understanding how the ...
متن کاملAsymptotic models of meridional flows in thin viscous accretion disks
We present the results of numerical integrations yielding the structure of and meridional flow in axisymmetric thin viscous accretion disk models. The solutions are obtained by simplifying and approximating first the equations, using systematic asymptotic expansions in the small parameter , measuring the relative disk thickness. The vertical structure is solved including radiative transfer in t...
