Numerical simulations of magnetohydrodynamic processes in the solar convection zone
Getling Alexander
Moscow State Uiversity
DRIVER: Studying situations in which multiscale convection can develop in a globally unstable layer of a compressible gas
STRATEGY: It is assumed that the thermal diffusivity makes a jump at a certain height, which results in much stronger convective instavility within the thin overlying sublayer, compared to the remaining portion of the layer (the lower sublayer). Therefore, a scale-splitting phenomenon becomes possible: convective motions of two widely different scales can coexist, with the large-scale flows filling the full layer thickness and the small-scale flows being concentrated near the upper boundary.
OBJECTIVE: Studying the flow structure in the solar convection zone, where the splitting of convection scales is observed; it can substantially affect the structure of magnetic fields.
IMPACT: scientific
