The mean magnetic field transport due to inhomogeneity of the turbulence intensity is considered taking the field back reaction on motion into account. In spite of the magnetic quenching, the downward diamagnetic pumping is still powerful enough to keep the fields of 3 to 4 kG strength near the SCZ base against the magnetic buoyancy.

AbstractThe interaction of helical convective motions and differential rotation in the solar convection zone results in turbulent drift of a large-scale magnetic field. We discuss the pumping mechanism and its impact on the solar dynamo.

AbstractThis investigation is devoted to study the turbulent convective transport of mean (large-scale) magnetic field in the solar convection zone (SCZ). For the SCZ model by Stix (1989) the reconstruction of the toroidal field was calculated as a result of the balance of mean-field magnetic buoyancy and two “negative magnetic buoyancy” effects: i) macroscopic turbulent diamagnetism and ii) the ∇ρ effect. It is shown that at high latitudes negative buoyancy effects block the magnetic fields, about 3000 – 4000 G, near the bottom of the SCZ. This may be the most plausible reason why a deep-seated field here could not become as apparent at the solar surface as sunspots. However, at the near equatorial domain in the deep layers the ∇ρ effect, with allowance for rotation, causes the upward magnetic transport, that facilitates penetration of strong fields to the surface where they emerge as sunspot patters in the “royal zone”.

Analysis of the fine structure of the solar oscillations has enabled us to determine the internal rotation of the Sun and to estimate the magnitude of the large-scale magnetic field inside the Sun. According to the data of Duvall et al. (1984), the core of the Sun rotates about twice as fast as the solar surface. Recently Dziembowski et al. (1989) have showed that there is a sharp radial gradient in the Sun’s rotation at the base of the convection zone, near the boundary with the radiative interior. It seems to us that the sharp radial gradients of the angular velocity near the core of the Sun and at the base of the convection zone, acting on the relict poloidal magnetic field Br, must excite an intense toroidal field Bф, that can compensate for the loss of the magnetic field due to magnetic buoyancy.

AbstractThe influence of rotation on the transfer of the mean magnetic field of the Sun, caused by the radial inhomogeneity of the solar turbulent plasma density, is investigated. It turns out that the transfer directions of the poloidal and toroidal magnetic fields do not coincide.

AbstractWe briefly present recent progress using the ASH code to model in 3-D the solar convection, dynamo and its coupling to the deep radiative interior. We show how the presence of a self-consistent tachocline influences greatly the organization of the magnetic field and modifies the thermal structure of the convection zone leading to realistic profiles of the mean flows as deduced by helioseismology.

AbstractWe derive expressions for the turbulent viscosity and turbulent conductivity applicable to convection zones of rotating stars. We assume that the dimensions of the convective cells are known and derive a simple distribution function for the turbulent convective velocities under the influence of rotation. From this distribution function (which includes, in particular, the stabilizing effect of rotation on convection) we calculate in the mixing-length approximation: i) the turbulent Reynolds stresstensor and ii) the expression for the heat flux in terms of the superadiabatic gradient. The contributions of the turbulent convective motions to the mean momentum and energy equation are treated consistently, and assumptions about the turbulent viscosity and heat transport are replaced by assumptions about the turbulent flow itself. The free parameters in our formalism are the relative cell sizes and their dependence on depth and latitude.

AbstractWe present a three-dimensional model of rotating convection combined with a simplified model of a corona in spherical coordinates. The motions in the convection zone generate a large-scale magnetic field which is sporadically ejected into the outer layers above. Our model corona is approximately isothermal, but it includes density stratification due to gravity.
