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.

Longitudinal Structures

The longitudinal and latitudinal distributions of the solar magnetic field have been investigated by many authors see e.g. (Bumba and Howard 1969; Gaizauskas et. al. 1983). The main longitudinal structures such as active longitudes, sector boundaries in the solar wind, and coronal holes appear to be the consequence of non-symmetric magnetic modes (Stix 1971; Ivanova and Ruzmaikin 1977) and can be explained within the framework of dynamo models. According to these models, solar magnetic fields are generated by helicity and differential rotation in the solar convection zone (Parker 1979) and the linear dynamo process may generate a carrier frequency ωc (ωc = 2π/T, T = 22 yr

The Mean

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.

AbstractThis paper discusses problems which have as their uniting theme the need to understand the coupling between a stellar convection zone and a magnetically dominated corona above it. Interest is concentrated on how the convection drives the atmosphere above, loading it with the currents that give rise to flares and other forms of coronal activity. The role of boundary conditions appears to be crucial, suggesting that a global understanding of the magnetic field system is necessary to explain what is observed in the corona. Calculations are presented which suggest that currents flowing up a flux rope return not in the immediate vicinity of the rope but rather in an alternative flux concentration located some distance away.

Polarized Radiation

The observational quantities commonly used to study the magnetic field of CP stars – the mean field modulus and the mean longitudinal field, as well as the ‘mean asymmetry of the longitudinal field’ and the ‘mean quadratic field’ recently introduced by Mathys (1995a,b) – are based either on the Stokes parameter / or on the Stokes parameter V. However, a complete description of polarized radiation requires the knowledge of the full Stokes vector: in other words, we should expect that useful information is also contained in linear polarization (the Stokes parameters Q and U); or rather we should expect the information contained in (Q, U) and in V to be complementary, since linear and circular polarization are basically related to the transverse and the longitudinal component of the magnetic field, respectively.

The Magnetic Field

This paper presents a case study of the plasma parameters in the magnetosheath, based on THEMIS measurements. As a theoretical tool we apply the self-consistent magnetosheath-magnetosphere model. A specific aspect of the model is that the positions of the bow shock and the magnetopause are self-consistently determined. In the magnetosheath the distribution of the velocity, density and temperature is calculated, based on the gas-dynamic theory. The magnetosphere module allows for the calculation of the magnetopause currents, confining the magnetic field into an arbitrary non-axisymmetric magnetopause. The variant of the Tsyganenko magnetic field model is applied as an internal magnetic field model. As solar wind monitor we use measurements from the WIND spacecraft. The results show that the model quite well reproduces the values of the ion density and velocity in the magnetosheath. The simlicity of the model allows calulations to be perforemed on a personal computer, which is one of the mean advantages of our model.

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.

The Magnetic Field

We investigate the dynamical consequences of an axisymmetric velocity field with a poloidal magnetic field driven by a prescribed e.m.f. E. The problem is motivated by previous investigations of dynamically driven dynamos in the magnetostrophic range. A geostrophic zonal flow field is added to a previously described velocity, and determined by the requirement that Taylor's constraint (Taylor 1963) (guaranteeing dynamical self-consistency of the fields) be satisfied. Several solutions are exhibited, and it is suggested that self-consistent solutions can always be found to this ‘forced’ problem, whereas the usual α-effect dynamo formalism in which E is a linear function of the magnetic field leads to a difficult transcendentally nonlinear characteristic value problem that may not always possess solutions.
