Turbulent Compressible Convection with Rotation - Penetration above a Convection Zone
We perform Large eddy simulations of turbulent compressible convection in stellar-type convection zones by solving the Naviér-Stokes equations in three dimensions. We estimate the extent of penetration into the stable layer above a stellar-type convection zone by varying the rotation rate (Ω), the inclination of the rotation vector (θ) and the relative stability (S) of the upper stable layer Th...
متن کاملOvershooting convection in tropical cyclones
[1] Using infrared satellite imagery, best-track data, and reanalysis data, tropical cyclones are shown to contain a disproportionate amount of the deepest convection in the tropics. Although tropical cyclones account for only 7% of the deep convection in the tropics, they account for about 15% of the deep convection with cloud-top temperatures below the monthly averaged tropopause temperature ...
متن کاملHow to define the boundaries of a convective zone and how extended is overshooting ?
Under nonlocal convection theory, convection extends without limit therefore no apparent boundary can be defined clearly as in the local theory. From the requirement of a similar structure for both local and non-local models having the same depth of con-vection zone, and taking into account the driving mechanism of turbulent convection, we argue that a proper definition of the boundary of a con...
متن کاملDeneb's variability: a hint of a deep-lying convection zone?
During their post – main-sequence evolution, massive star models harbor a convection zone on top of their hydrogen burning shell. This physical property helps, under suitable circumstances, to destabilize low-degree nonradial modes that might explain the cyclic light variability of α Cygni variables. The results of first exploratory computations demonstrate that modes with periods ranging from ...
متن کاملA Phenomenological Model for the Extended Zone above Agb Stars
I suggest the existence of an extended zone above the surface of asymptotic giant branch (AGB), as well as similar stars experiencing high mass loss rates. In addition to the escaping wind, in this zone there are parcels of gas that do not reach the escape velocity. These parcels of dense gas rise slowly and then fall back. The wind and bound gas exist simultaneously to distances of ∼ 100 AU. I...
