Colloquium: Unusual dynamics of convection in the Sun

J Schumacher, KR Sreenivasan - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The Sun is our nearest star; it is also the most important star that determines life on Earth. A
large variety of phenomena observed on the Sun's surface, with potential impact on Earth, is …

Convective boundary mixing in main-sequence stars: theory and empirical constraints

EH Anders, MG Pedersen - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
The convective envelopes of solar-type stars and the convective cores of intermediate-and
high-mass stars share boundaries with stable radiative zones. Through a host of processes …

Dedalus: A flexible framework for numerical simulations with spectral methods

KJ Burns, GM Vasil, JS Oishi, D Lecoanet… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
Numerical solutions of partial differential equations enable a broad range of scientific
research. The Dedalus project is a flexible, open-source, parallelized computational …

Stellar convective penetration: parameterized theory and dynamical simulations

EH Anders, AS Jermyn, D Lecoanet… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Most stars host convection zones in which heat is transported directly by fluid motion, but the
behavior of convective boundaries is not well-understood. Here, we present 3D numerical …

Rayleigh–Bénard convection with a melting boundary

B Favier, J Purseed, L Duchemin - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 - cambridge.org
We study the evolution of a melting front between the solid and liquid phases of a pure
incompressible material where fluid motions are driven by unstable temperature gradients …

Impact of buoyant jet entrainment on the thermocline behavior in a single-medium thermal energy storage tank

W Lou, N Baudin, S Roux, Y Fan, L Luo - Journal of Energy Storage, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper presents the characterization and management of dynamic thermocline
behaviors in a single-medium thermocline (SMT) thermal energy storage tank with the aim of …

Bistability in Rayleigh-Bénard convection with a melting boundary

J Purseed, B Favier, L Duchemin, EW Hester - Physical Review Fluids, 2020 - APS
A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated
from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between …

Two-dimensional simulations of solar-like models with artificially enhanced luminosity-II. Impact on internal gravity waves

A Le Saux, T Guillet, I Baraffe, DG Vlaykov… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Artificially increasing the luminosity and the thermal diffusivity of a model is a common tactic
adopted in hydrodynamical simulations of stellar convection. In this work, we analyse the …

Convective overshooting and penetration in a Boussinesq spherical shell

L Korre, P Garaud, NH Brummell - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We study the dynamics associated with the extension of turbulent convective motions from a
convection zone (CZ) into a stable region (RZ) that lies below the latter. For that purpose, we …
