太阳对流全球模式中的差异旋转和纬向环流

Differential rotation and meridional circulation in global models of solar convection

M. S. Miesch

摘要:

在太阳和其他恒星的外层,差旋和纬向环流通过对流运动重新分配动量和能量来维持。为了在数值模型中正确地捕捉这些过程,正确的球面几何是必不可少的。在本文中,我回顾了最近的见解,在太阳内部的平均流动的维护获得高分辨率模拟太阳对流旋转球壳。科里奥利力引起的雷诺应力,输送角动量赤道方向,也产生纬向变化的对流热通量。由斜压性和旋转切变引起的经向环流进一步重新分配角动量,改变平均层结。这引起了复杂的非线性相互作用之间的湍流对流,差异旋转,纬向环流,和平均比熵的轮廓。我将描述这场戏剧在我们的模拟以及太阳和恒星对流区中是如何上演的。

英文摘要:

In the outer envelope of the Sun and in other stars, differential rotation and meridional circulation are maintained via the redistribution of momentum and energy by convective motions. In order to properly capture such processes in a numerical model, the correct spherical geometry is essential. In this paper I review recent insights into the maintenance of mean flows in the solar interior obtained from high-resolution simulations of solar convection in rotating spherical shells. The Coriolis force induces a Reynolds stress which transports angular momentum equatorward and also yields latitudinal variations in the convective heat flux. Meridional circulations induced by baroclinicity and rotational shear further redistribute angular momentum and alter the mean stratification. This gives rise to a complex nonlinear interplay between turbulent convection, differential rotation, meridional circulation, and the mean specific entropy profile. I will describe how this drama plays out in our simulations as well as in solar and stellar convection zones.
