Introduction to Modeling Convection in Planets and Stars: Magnetic Field, Density Stratification, Rotation

摘要: This book provides readers with the skills they need to write computer codes that simulate convection, internal gravity waves, and magnetic field generation in interiors atmospheres of rotating planets stars. Using a teaching method perfected classroom, Gary Glatzmaier begins by offering step-by-step guide on how design for simulating nonlinear time-dependent thermal convection two-dimensional box using Fourier expansions horizontal direction finite differences vertical direction. He then describes implement more efficient accurate numerical methods realistic geometries two three dimensions. In third part book, demonstrates incorporate sophisticated physics, including effects field, density stratification, rotation. Featuring numerous exercises throughout, this is an ideal textbook students essential resource researchers.
