Introduction

Motivation

·

Shortest period hot Jupiters (M ~ MJup, P < 10 d) have preferentially circular orbits => thought to be explained by tidal dissipation inside the planet (e.g. Rasio et al,1996) If so, what mechanisms are responsible?

· ·

Anomalously large radii of some HJs may partly be explained by tidal heating in the planet Orbital evolution of Jupiter/ Saturn satellites (Lainey et al, 2009,2012) due to tides

What is

· Linear theory contains uncertainties (e.g. Zahn, Ogilvie, Papaloizou, Ivanov, Wu).
Nonlinear effects mostly unexplored.

· Even though a tide may be "weak", nonlinear fluid effects can be important

· Can lead to turbulence => is the resulting

turbulent dissipation sufficient to explain the circularisation of hot Jupiters?

· Not for P>2.5d, but may play a role at shorter
periods. Naive estimate: Simulations of small patch of rotating tidally deformed planet in a periodic box

· Uncertainties: presence of a core, turbulent
convection, global effects

Topic 2

Tides in rotating planets with a core

· Tidal forcing can excite small-scale inertial waves

^ (when |! | < 2|| , e.g. linear theory by Ogilvie & Lin, Papaloizou & Ivanov, Wu)

· Linear theory: strong frequency dependence of tidal
dissipation, strongly enhanced when inertial waves are excited



· What effects do fluid nonlinearities have? (Wave

breaking, generation of "mean flows", interaction with turbulent convection...)

· [Model is also relevant for terrestrial planets with

deep oceans and Neptune/Uranus-mass planets, and to convective envelopes of stars]

Topic 2

Tides in rotating planets with a core

· Angular momentum is deposited non-uniformly => planet does not spin up/down
as a solid body, instead becomes (cylindrically) differentially rotating in the process

· Departure from linear theory is observed, partly due to differential rotation and
partly to the generation of small-scale waves

· Note that simulations cannot reach the tiny molecular viscosities relevant for a
giant planet or star (e.g. 10 18 ) => may get different behaviour as viscosity is decreased (hopefully we can obtain scaling laws and extrapolate)

· Further uncertainties: effects of turbulent convection, magnetic fields, density
stratification, realistic outer boundary condition

The End!

Conclusions

· Tidal interactions shape the observable properties of short-period extrasolar
planets (and close binary stars)

· Major contribution to tidal dissipation from small-scale waves in fluid layers of
planets/stars. Significant uncertainties remain.

· Nonlinear fluid effects can be important and (probably) require numerical
simulations to quantify. Two examples: 1. The elliptical instability may play a role in circularising very short-period hot Jupiters with periods <~2 days, and synchronising their spins out to ~3.5 days 2. Tidal excitation of inertial waves in planets with a core: nonlinearities generate differential rotation in the interior & departure from linear theory (probably more important than 1. for P>~2d)
