TURBULENT CONVECTION IN STELLAR INTERIORS. III. MEAN-FIELD ANALYSIS AND STRATIFICATION EFFECTS

Journal Article Viallet, Maxime ; Meakin, Casey ; Mocak, Miroslav ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present three-dimensional implicit large eddy simulations of the turbulent convection in the envelope of a 5 M{sub Sun} red giant star and in the oxygen-burning shell of a 23 M{sub Sun} supernova progenitor. The numerical models are analyzed in the framework of one-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The effects of pressure fluctuations are more important in the red giant model, owing to larger stratification of the convective zone. We show how this impacts different terms in the mean-field equations. We clarify the driving sources of kinetic energy, and show that the rate of turbulent dissipation is comparable to the convectivemore »« less

CONVECTIVE OVERSHOOT MIXING IN MODELS OF THE STELLAR INTERIOR

Convective overshoot mixing plays an important role in stellar structure and evolution. However, overshoot mixing is also a long-standing problem; it is one of the most uncertain factors in stellar physics. As is well known, convective overshoot mixing is determined by the radial turbulent flux of the chemical component. In this paper, a local model of the radial turbulent flux of the chemical component is established based on hydrodynamic equations and some model assumptions and is tested in stellar models. The main conclusions are as follows. (1) The local model shows that convective overshoot mixing could be regarded as amore »« less

DOUBLE-DIFFUSIVE MIXING IN STELLAR INTERIORS IN THE PRESENCE OF HORIZONTAL GRADIENTS

Journal Article Medrano, M. ; Garaud, P. ; Stellmach, S. - Astrophysical Journal Letters

We have identified a potentially important source of mixing in stellar radiation zones which would arise whenever two conditions are satisfied: (1) the presence of an inverse vertical compositional gradient, and (2) the presence of density-compensating horizontal gradients of temperature and composition. The former can be caused by off-center nuclear burning, atomic diffusion, or surface accretion. The latter could be caused by rotation, tides, meridional flows, etc. The linear instability and its nonlinear development have been studied in an oceanographic context. It is known to drive the formation of stacks of fingering layers separated by diffusive interfaces, called intrusions. Usingmore »« less
