Boussinesq convection in a gaseous spherical shell
Keyword(s):
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of convection in a spherical shell under the Boussinesq approximation but considering the compressibility which arises from a non zero adiabatic temperature gradient, a relevant quantity for gaseous objects such as stellar or planetary interiors. We find that depth-dependent superiadiabaticity, combined with the use of mixed boundary conditions (fixed flux/fixed temperature), gives rise to unexpected dynamics that were not previously reported.
