Internal gravity wave excitation by turbulent convection
Internal gravity wave excitation by turbulent convection
We calculate the flux of internal gravity waves (IGWs) generated by turbulent convection in stars. We solve for the IGW eigenfunctions analytically near the radiativeā€“convective interface in a local, Boussinesq and Cartesian domain. We consider both discontinuous and smooth transitions between the radiative and convective regions and derive Green's functions ā€¦
