Book Synopsis Astrophysical Turbulence and Convection by : J. Robert Buchler
Download or read book Astrophysical Turbulence and Convection written by J. Robert Buchler and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence and convection are phenomena the existence of which has haunted astrophysicists because they pose such extremely difficult problems. The papers in this volume are taken from a conference held in February 1999 which brought together representatives of four different viewpoints: the computational physicist's numerical three-dimensional large-eddy simulations; theorists, who wish to simplify the equations into approximate, but useful one-dimensional recipes; astrophysicists, who see turbulence and convection as a subroutine; and experimentalists, who provide insights into what really happens at molecular levels in space - and keep everyone else honest.

Book Synopsis Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence by : Dieter Biskamp
Download or read book Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence written by Dieter Biskamp and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, an active field both in general turbulence theory and in various areas of astrophysics. The book starts by introducing the MHD equations, certain useful approximations and the transition to turbulence. The second part of the book covers incompressible MHD turbulence, the macroscopic aspects connected with the different self-organization processes, the phenomenology of the turbulence spectra, two-point closure theory, and intermittency. The third considers two-dimensional turbulence and compressible (in particular, supersonic) turbulence. Because of the similarities in the theoretical approach, these chapters start with a brief account of the corresponding methods developed in hydrodynamic turbulence. The final part of the book is devoted to astrophysical applications: turbulence in the solar wind, in accretion disks, and in the interstellar medium. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers working in turbulence theory, plasma physics and astrophysics.

Book Synopsis Turbulence and Magnetic Fields in Astrophysics by : Edith Falgarone
Download or read book Turbulence and Magnetic Fields in Astrophysics written by Edith Falgarone and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains review articles of most of the topics addressed at the conf- ence on Simulations of Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in astrophysics: recent achievements and perspectives which took place from July 2 to 6, 2001 at the Institut Henri Poincar ́e in Paris. We made the choice to publish these lectures in a tutorial form so that they can be read by a broad audience. As a result, this book does not give an exhaustive view of all the subjects addressed during the conference. The main objective of this workshop which gathered about 90 scientists from di?erent ?elds, was to present and confront recent results on the topic of t- bulence in magnetized astrophysical environments. A second objective was to discuss the latest generation of numerical codes, such as those using adaptive mesh re?nement (AMR) techniques. During a plenary discussion at the end of the workshop discussions were held on several topics, often at the heart of vivid controversies. Topics included the timescale for the dissipation of magneto-hydrodynamical (MHD) turbulence, the role of boundary conditions, the characteristics of imbalanced turbulence, the validity of the polytropic approach to Alfv ́en waves support within interst- lar clouds, the source of turbulence inside clouds devoid of stellar activity, the timescale for star formation, the Alfv ́en Mach number of interstellar gas motions, the formation process for helical ?elds in the interstellar medium. The impact of small upon large scales was also discussed.
Book Synopsis Fluid Mechanics of Planets and Stars by : Michael Le Bars
Download or read book Fluid Mechanics of Planets and Stars written by Michael Le Bars and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamics of planetary and stellar fluid layers, including atmospheres, oceans, iron cores, and convective and radiative zones in stars, describing the different theoretical, computational and experimental methods used to study these problems in fluid mechanics, including the advantages and limitations of each method for different problems. This scientific domain is by nature interdisciplinary and multi-method, but while much effort has been devoted to solving open questions within the various fields of mechanics, applied mathematics, physics, earth sciences and astrophysics, and while much progress has been made within each domain using theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches, cross-fertilizations have remained marginal. Going beyond the state of the art, the book provides readers with a global introduction and an up-to-date overview of relevant studies, fully addressing the wide range of disciplines and methods involved. The content builds on the CISM course “Fluid mechanics of planets and stars”, held in April 2018, which was part of the research project FLUDYCO, supported by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
Book Synopsis Convection in Astrophysics (IAU S239) by : International Astronomical Union. Symposium
Download or read book Convection in Astrophysics (IAU S239) written by International Astronomical Union. Symposium and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convection is ubiquitous throughout the Universe, and during the last three decades it has become the largest factor of uncertainty in theoretical models of stars and in the interpretation of observations on the basis of such models. Recently, numerical simulations of convection have dramatically improved in their potential to take into account both the large scale properties of the flow itself and the microphysical properties of the fluid. Observations have become accurate enough to provide stringent tests for both numerical simulations and models of convection. IAU S239 was held to further understanding of convection, bringing together leading researchers in solar and stellar physics, the physics of planets, and of accretion disks. With reviews, research contributions, and detailed recordings of plenary discussions, this book is a valuable resource for professional astronomers and graduate students interested in the interdisciplinary study of one of the key physical processes in astrophysics.
Book Synopsis On the Interaction Between Turbulence and Stratification by : Pierre Léard
Download or read book On the Interaction Between Turbulence and Stratification written by Pierre Léard and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
