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 …

Solar dynamo theory

P Charbonneau - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
The Sun's magnetic field is the engine and energy source driving all phenomena collectively
defining solar activity, which in turn structures the whole heliosphere and significantly …

[HTML][HTML] Dynamo models of the solar cycle

P Charbonneau - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2010 - Springer
This paper reviews recent advances and current debates in modeling the solar cycle as a
hydromagnetic dynamo process. Emphasis is placed on (relatively) simple dynamo models …

Magnetic cycles in global large-eddy simulations of solar convection

M Ghizaru, P Charbonneau… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on a global magnetohydrodynamical simulation of the solar convection zone,
which succeeds in generating a large-scale axisymmetric magnetic component …

Simulations of solar and stellar dynamos and their theoretical interpretation

PJ Käpylä, MK Browning, AS Brun, G Guerrero… - Space Science …, 2023 - Springer
We review the state of the art of three dimensional numerical simulations of solar and stellar
dynamos. We summarize fundamental constraints of numerical modelling and the …

Current status of turbulent dynamo theory: from large-scale to small-scale dynamos

A Brandenburg, D Sokoloff, K Subramanian - Space Science Reviews, 2012 - Springer
Several recent advances in turbulent dynamo theory are reviewed. High resolution
simulations of small-scale and large-scale dynamo action in periodic domains are compared …

Magnetic cycles in a convective dynamo simulation of a young solar-type star

BP Brown, MS Miesch, MK Browning… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Young solar-type stars rotate rapidly and many are magnetically active. Some appear to
undergo magnetic cycles similar to the 22 yr solar activity cycle. We conduct simulations of …

Anomalously weak solar convection

SM Hanasoge, TL Duvall Jr… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Convection in the solar interior is thought to comprise structures on a spectrum of scales.
This conclusion emerges from phenomenological studies and numerical simulations, though …

Cyclic magnetic activity due to turbulent convection in spherical wedge geometry

PJ Käpylä, MJ Mantere… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on simulations of turbulent, rotating, stratified, magnetohydrodynamic convection
in spherical wedge geometry. An initially small-scale, random, weak-amplitude magnetic …

Astrophysical hydromagnetic turbulence

A Brandenburg, A Lazarian - Space Science Reviews, 2013 - Springer
Recent progress in astrophysical hydromagnetic turbulence is being reviewed. The physical
ideas behind the now widely accepted Goldreich–Sridhar model and its extension to …
