Quantitative models of sunspot and starspot decay predict the timescale of magnetic diffusion and may yield important constraints in stellar dynamo models. Motivated by recent measurements of starspot lifetimes, we investigate the…
Current state-of-the-art spectrographs cannot resolve the fundamental spatial (sub-arcseconds) and temporal scales (less than a few tens of seconds) of the coronal dynamics of solar flares and eruptive phenomena. The highest resolution…
Convection is ubiquitous in stellar and planetary interiors where it likely plays an integral role in the generation of magnetic fields. As the interiors of these objects remain hidden from direct observation, numerical models of convection…
In this chapter, we discuss experiments that realize the discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger (DNLS) equations. The relevance of such descriptions arises from the competition of three common features: nonlinearity, dispersion, and a medium to…
Magnetic element tracking is often used to study the transport and diffusion of the magnetic field on the solar photosphere. From the analysis of the displacement spectrum of these tracers, it has been recently agreed that a regime of…
Analytic solutions to the nonlinear radiation diffusion equation with an instantaneous point source for a non-homogeneous medium with a power law spatial density profile, are presented. The solutions are a generalization of the well known…
One-dimensional (vertical) models of planetary atmospheres typically balance the net solar and internal energy fluxes against the net thermal radiative and convective heat fluxes to determine an equilibrium thermal structure. Thus,simple…
Convection in stars and planets must be maintained against viscous and Ohmic dissipation. Here, we present the first systematic investigation of viscous dissipation in simulations of rotating, density-stratified plane layers of convection.…
We investigate test-particle diffusion in dynamical turbulence based on a numerical approach presented before. For the turbulence we employ the nonlinear anisotropic dynamical turbulence model which takes into account wave propagation…
Computational atomic-scale methods continue to provide new information about geometry, energetics, and transition states for interstitial elements in crystalline lattices. This data can be used to determine the diffusivity of interstitials…
The precise location of the water ice condensation front ('snow line') in the protosolar nebula has been a debate for a long time. Its importance stems from the expected substantial jump in the abundance of solids beyond the snow line,…
We analyse a simple model of the heat transfer to and from a small satellite orbiting round a solar system planet. Our approach considers the satellite isothermal, with external heat input from the environment and from internal energy…
Analytical solutions to heat or diffusion type equations are numerous, but there are rather few explicit solutions for conditions where the thermal conductivity or diffusion tensors are anisotropic. Such solutions have some use in making…
During solar flares a tremendous amount of magnetic energy is released and transported through the Sun's atmosphere and out into the heliosphere. Despite over a century of study, many unresolved questions surrounding solar flares are still…
Context: Stellar flares have an impact on habitable planets. To relate the observations of the Sun with those of stars, one needs to use a Sun-as-a-star analysis, that is, to degrade the resolution of the Sun to a single point. With the…
The aim of this paper is to improve our understanding of the heating mechanisms of the solar chromosphere via realistic three-dimensional (3D) modeling of solar magneto-convection, considering the fact that solar plasma contains a…
This paper describes the first steps of development of a new multidimensional time implicit code devoted to the study of hydrodynamical processes in stellar interiors. The code solves the hydrodynamical equations in spherical geometry and…
Nonlinear acoustic evolution is often discussed in the context of wave-steepening that leads to shock formation, and is of special interest in applications where the shock continues to strengthen due to a narrowing of its channel or the…
Calculating the thermal diffusivity of solid materials is commonly carried out using the laser flash experiment. This classical experiment considers a small (usually thin disc-shaped) sample of the material with parallel front and rear…
The dynamics of flame propagation in systems with infinite Lewis number and spatially discretized sources of heat release is examined, which is applicable to the combustion of suspensions of fuel particles in air. The system is analyzed…
