Article Synopsis
- Overshooting from convective regions into stable zones is important for mixing chemical species and transporting angular momentum and magnetic fields in stars.
- The study uses 3D simulations to explore how factors like density stratification and rotation affect overshooting dynamics, revealing that the relationship is complex and not simply linear.
- Results indicate that the behavior of mean flows due to rotation extends into stable regions, potentially enhancing our understanding of stellar structure, particularly in relation to phenomena like the solar tachocline.
We examine the dynamics associated with weakly compressible convection in a spherical shell by running 3D direct numerical simulations using the Boussinesq formalism [Spiegel and Veronis, Astrophys. J. 131, 442 (1960)AJLEEY0004-637X10.
