On the Interaction Between Turbulence and Stratification
Author: Pierre Léard

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Coupled dynamics between turbulent and stratified layers are often encountered in geophysical and astrophysical flows, for example in the earth's atmosphere, oceans and core, but also in stars. Due to the large space- and time-scale difference between the phenomenon involved in the two layers, their interaction is sometimes overlooked. Still, the turbulent motions enhance mixing at the interface and generate internal gravity waves which propagate in the stratified layer. Those waves extract energy from the convective layer and distribute this energy along their propagation path. They also carry chemicals and bio-elements. Therefore, the comprehension of the coupled dynamics of a turbulent layer interacting with a stratification one is essential in order to build reliable models predicting the long-time evolution of those flows. This interaction is studied with experiments, numerical simulations and theoretical modelling.

Studying Stellar Rotation and Convection
Author: Mariejo Goupil
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 364233380X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This volume synthesizes the results of work carried out by several international teams of the SIROCO (Seismology for Rotation and Convection) collaboration. It provides the theoretical background required to interpret the huge quantity of high-quality observational data recently provided by space experiments such as CoRoT and Kepler. Asteroseismology allows astrophysicists to test, to model and to understand stellar structure and evolution as never before. The chapters in this book address the two groups of topics summarized as "Stellar Rotation and Associated Seismology" as well as "Stellar Convection and Associated Seismology". The book offers the reader solid theoretical background knowledge and adapted seismic diagnostic techniques.

A Numerical Study of Penetrative Turbulence in Convective Boundary Layers

Book Description
A weighted residual collocation method is investigated to study penetrative turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). In designing such a numerical model for the ABL, one needs to minimize or avoid artificial energy dissipation at the resolved scale, and parameterize the effect of unresolved turbulent mixing to account for the subgrid scale energy dissipation. In this research, the standard mesoscale filtering of conservation laws (mass, momentum, and energy) has been adopted based on the assumption that the characteristic scale of circulation is much less than the density scale hight of the atmosphere. Such mesoscale equations have been filtered with a Deslauriers-Dubuc (DD) interpolating wavelet system along with a Smagorinsky type eddy viscosity model. The time integration is performed by projecting the solution onto a Krylov subspace, and by solving the system with the GMRES (generalized minimal residual) algorithm. The numerical model is verified with the analytical solution of two-dimensional advection-diffusion phenomena, and with two benchmark simulations such as dry thermal rising in the neutrally stratified environment and stationary solutions of urban heat island circulation. The generation of internal waves by a turbulent buoyant element impinging upon the interface between the boundary layer and free atmosphere is characterized. Finally, penetrative turbulence due to differentially heated earth's surface is investigated for a wide range of surface heat flux variations, 25 ≤ H0 ≤ 930 W m−2. Results indicate that the downscale energy cascade is associated with the onset of temporal oscillations in mesoscale circulation, although a fraction of kinetic energy is transferred by internal waves.

The Pulsations of the Sun and the Stars
Author: Jean-Pierre Rozelot
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642199283
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
This volume of lecture notes brings together the knowledge on pulsations of the Sun and the stars, with a particular emphasis on recent observations and modelling, and on the influence of pulsations of other physical processes. The book begins with an extensive introduction to helioseismology. The solar cycle and gravity modes are discussed before the focus is widened from helioseismology to asteroseismology which is detailed in a series of specific chapters. Based on courses given at a graduate school, these tutorial lecture notes will be of interest and useful to a rather broad audience of scientists and students.
