3D MHD simulations of subsurface convection in OB stars
During their main sequence evolution, massive stars can develop convective regions very close to their surface. These regions are caused by an opacity peak associated with iron ionization. Cantiello et al. (2009) found a possible connection between the presence of subphotospheric convective motions and small scale stochastic velocities in the photosphere of early-type stars. This supports a phy...
متن کاملResistive MHD simulations of the Parker instability in galactic disks
Parker instability leads to the formation of tangential discontinuities in a magnetic field and subsequent magnetic reconnection due to a numerical and/or an explicit resistivity. In this paper we investigate the role of the uniform, localized and numerical resistivity on the diffusion of magnetic field lines during the growth phase of Parker instability modes. We propose a new method to quanti...
متن کاملOn MHD fluxes in the solar convection zone
We have estimated MHD fluxes in the solar convection zone using the best available data on turbulent (convective) velocities in combination with the formulation of Stein (1981) and suitable efficiency factors. The estimated MHD fluxes compare well with the total solar flux.
متن کاملDynamics of the Solar Magnetic Network Two-dimensional MHD Simulations
The aim of this work is to identify the physical processes that occur in the network and contribute to its dynamics and heating. We model the network as consisting of individual flux tubes with a non-potential field structure that are located in intergranular lanes. With a typical horizontal size of 200 km at the base of the photosphere, they expand upward and merge with their neighbors at a he...
متن کاملSimulating solar MHD
Two aspects of solar MHD are discussed in relation to the work of the MHD simulation group at KIS. Photospheric magneto-convection, the nonlinear interaction of magnetic ®eld and convection in a strongly strati®ed, radiating ̄uid, is a key process of general astrophysical relevance. Comprehensive numerical simulations including radiative transfer have significantly improved our understanding of...
