Nonlinear Pulsations of Convective Stellar Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the numerical modelling of the nonlinear pulsations of classical variable stars with hydrocodes that include the effects of turbulent convection. Despite their simplicity these turbulent convective recipes appear to remove many of the difficulties that radiative codes faced. In particular, the numerical modelling of double mode pulsations has become possible.

A simple convection model for selfgravitating fluid dynamics Time-dependent convective energy transfer in protostars and nonlinear stellar pulsations
We describe a relatively simple time-dependent convection model that can be coupled to the equations of radiation hydrodynamics. We show that it behaves in a physically plausible way in protostellar collapse flows and is quantitatively correct for nonlinear RR-Lyrae pulsations and the Sun. Together with the equations of radiation hydrodynamics the model closely approximates the classical stella...
متن کاملAutomated Nonlinear Stellar Pulsation Calculations: Applications to RR Lyrae stars The Slope of the Fundamental Blue Edge and the First RRd Model Survey
We describe a methodology that allows us to follow the pulsational behavior of an RR Lyrae model consistently and automatically along its evolutionary track throughout the whole instability strip. It is based on the powerful amplitude equation formalism, and resorts to a judicious combination of numerical hydrodynamical simulations, the analytical signal time-series analysis, and amplitude equa...
متن کاملNonlinear model pulsations for long-period Cepheids II. Magellanic Cloud Cepheids
Nonlinear, radiative models for long–period Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds were constructed and the theoretical light and velocity curves were compared with observations. We assumed a metal content Z = 0.005, and two mass–luminosity M–L relations: one was obtained from stellar evolution calculation with convective overshooting models, and the other, which gives an even larger L for the same ...
متن کاملA two-column formalism for time-dependent modelling of stellar convection I. Description of the method
Context. In spite of all the advances in multi-dimensional hydrodynamics, investigations of stellar evolution and stellar pulsations still depend on one-dimensional computations. This paper devises an alternative to the mixing-length theory or turbulence models usually adopted in modelling convective transport in such studies. Aims. The present work attempts to develop a time-dependent descript...
