Magnetic flux concentrations from turbulent stratified convection
Context. The formation of magnetic flux concentrations within the solar convection zone leading to sunspot formation is unexplained. Aims. We study the self-organization of initially uniform sub-equipartition magnetic fields by highly stratified turbulent convection. Methods. We perform simulations of magnetoconvection in Cartesian domains representing the uppermost 8.5−24 Mm of the solar conve...
متن کاملEffect of heat flux on differential rotation in turbulent convection.
We studied the effect of the turbulent heat flux on the Reynolds stresses in a rotating turbulent convection. To this end we solved a coupled system of dynamical equations which includes the equations for the Reynolds stresses, the entropy fluctuations, and the turbulent heat flux. We used a spectral tau approximation in order to close the system of dynamical equations. We found that the ratio ...
متن کاملThe eddy heat-flux in rotating turbulent convection
The three components of the heat-flux vector F = ρCp〈uT 〉 are numerically computed for a stratified rotating turbulent convection using the NIRVANA code in a flat box. The latitudinal component Fθ proves to be negative (positive) in the northern (southern) hemisphere so that the heat always flows towards the poles. As a surprise, the radial heat-flux Fr peaks at the equator rather than at the p...
متن کاملLarge-scale magnetic flux concentrations from turbulent stresses
In this study we provide the first numerical demonstration of the effects of turbulence on the mean Lorentz force and the resulting formation of large-scale magnetic structures. Using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS) of forced turbulence we show that an imposed mean magnetic field leads to a decrease of the turbulent hydromagnetic pressure and tension. This phenomenon is qua...
متن کاملMultiscale SOC in turbulent convection
Using data obtained in a laboratory thermal convection experiment at high Rayleigh numbers, it is shown that the multiscaling properties of the observed mean wind reversals are quantitatively consistent with analogous multiscaling properties of the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld prototype model of self-organized criticality in two dimensions.
