Numerical simulations of surface convection in a late M-dwarf
Based on detailed 2D and 3D numerical radiation-hydrodynamics (RHD) simulations of time-dependent compressible convection, we have studied the dynamics and thermal structure of the convective surface layers of a prototypical late-type M-dwarf (Teff ≈ 2800K, log g = 5.0, solar chemical composition). The RHD models predict stellar granulation qualitatively similar to the familiar solar pattern. Q...
متن کامل3D 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 کامل3D Anelastic Simulations of Convection in Massive Stars
After briefly describing the anelastic approximation and Glatzmaier’s code, we present results from our preliminary studies of core convection during the hydrogen burning phase of a 15M⊙ star, as well as our most recent results concerning convection in the oxygen shell of a 25M⊙ star.
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Natural Convection in a Vertical Channel.
Natural convection between vertical parallel plates occurs frequently in applications such as solar collectors and cooling of electronic instruments. The problem is a two dimensional developing buoyant flow. In this work, the two dimensional conservation equations are solved numerically for constant wall temperature and constant wall heat flux. The results for the local Nusselt number at the du...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of internal wave generation by convection in water.
Water's density maximum at 4°C makes it well suited to study internal gravity wave excitation by convection: an increasing temperature profile is unstable to convection below 4°C, but stably stratified above 4°C. We present numerical simulations of a waterlike fluid near its density maximum in a two-dimensional domain. We successfully model the damping of waves in the simulations using linear t...
