چکیده
The characteristics of the most unstable fundamental mode and the first harmonic excited in the convection zone of a variety of solar envelope models are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the observed features of granulation and supergranulation.

The Destruction of He by Rayleigh-Taylor Instability on the First Giant Branch
Low-mass stars, ∼ 1 − 2 solar masses, near the Main Sequence are efficient at producing He, which they mix into the convective envelope on the giant branch and distribute into the Galaxy by way of envelope loss. This process is so efficient that it is difficult to reconcile the observed cosmic abundance of He with the predictions of Big Bang nucleosynthesis. In this paper we find, by modeling a...
متن کاملA more realistic representation of overshoot at the base of the solar convective envelope as seen by helioseismology
The stratification near the base of the Sun’s convective envelope is governed by processes of convective overshooting and element diffusion, and the region is widely believed to play a key role in the solar dynamo. The stratification in that region gives rise to a characteristic signal in the frequencies of solar p modes, which has been used to determine the depth of the solar convection zone a...
متن کاملADOMIAN DECOMPOSITION METHOD AND PADÉ APPROXIMATION TO DETERMINE FIN EFFICIENCY OF CONVECTIVE SOLAR AIR COLLECTOR IN STRAIGHT FINS
In this paper, the nonlinear differential equation for the convection of the temperature distribution of a straight fin with the thermal conductivity depends on the temperature is solved using Adomian Decomposition Method and Padé approximation(PADM) for boundary problems. Actual results are then compared with results obtained previously using digital solution by Runge–Kuttamethod and a diffe...
متن کاملInteractions between magnetohydrodynamic shear instabilities and convective flows in the solar interior
Motivated by the interface model for the solar dynamo, this paper explores the complex magnetohydrodynamic interactions between convective flows and shear-driven instabilities. Initially, we consider the dynamics of a forced shear flow across a convectivelystable polytropic layer, in the presence of a vertical magnetic field. When the imposed magnetic field is weak, the dynamics are dominated b...
متن کاملNumerical constraints on the model of stochastic excitation of solar-type oscillations
Analyses of a 3D simulation of the upper layers of a solar convective envelope provide constraints on the physical quantities which enter the theoretical formulation of a stochastic excitation model of solar p modes, for instance the convective velocities and the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum. These constraints are then used to compute the acoustic excitation rate for solar p modes, P. The ...
