Characteristics of convection and overshooting in RGB and AGB stars

X. -J. Lai, Y. Li

摘要:

基于Li & Yang(2007)的湍流对流模型(TCM),我们研究了2和5M星在RGB和AGB位相的包层湍流对流特征。TCM已成功地应用于包括对流不稳定区和过冲区在内的整个对流包层。我们发现,当恒星模型沿着Hayashi线越来越靠上时,对流运动变得越来越强。在对流不稳定区,我们发现,湍流相关成正比的一个共同的因素$(\nabla-\nabla_{ad})\bar{T}$的功能,这解释了类似的分布,这些相关。对于TCM,我们发现,如果得到的恒星温度结构接近MLT,对流运动将在一个更大的速度,从而更激烈。然而,如果调整湍流速度接近MLT,超绝热对流区向内延伸得更多,恒星模型的有效温度将得到较低。对于超调距离,我们发现,随着恒星模型沿Hayashi线向上放置,超调区顶部和底部的湍流动能k的e折叠长度都减小,但减小的幅度并不明显。对于相同TCM参数的不同恒星模型,湍流关联$\bar{u_{r}^{'}T^{'}}$的超调距离几乎相同。...

英文摘要:

Based on the turbulent convection model (TCM) of Li & Yang (2007), we have studied the characteristics of turbulent convection in the envelopes of 2 and 5M stars at the RGB and AGB phases. The TCM has been applied successfully in the whole convective envelopes including the convective unstable zone and the overshooting regions. We find that the convective motions become stronger and stronger when the stellar models are located upper and upper along the Hayashi line. In the convective unstable zone, we find that the turbulent correlations are proportional to functions of a common factor $(\nabla-\nabla_{ad})\bar{T}$, which explains similar distributions of those correlations. For the TCM we find that if the obtained stellar structure of temperature is close to that of the MLT, the convective motion will be at a much larger velocity and thus more violent. However, if the turbulent velocity is adjusted to close to that of the MLT, the superadiabatic convection zone is much more extended inward and a lower effective temperature of the stellar model will be obtained. For the overshooting distance we find that the e-folding lengths of the turbulent kinetic energy k in both the top and bottom overshooting regions decrease as the stellar model is located up along the Hayashi line, but both the extents of the decrease are not obvious. And the overshooting distances of the turbulent correlation $\bar{u_{r}^{'}T^{'}}$ are almost the same for the different stellar models with a same set of TCM's parameters. ...
