Evolution of forced shear flows in polytropic atmospheres: a comparison of forcing methods and energetics
Evolution of forced shear flows in polytropic atmospheres: a comparison of forcing methods and energetics
Shear flows are ubiquitous in astrophysical objects including planetary and stellar interiors, where their dynamics can have significant impact on thermochemical processes. Investigating the complex dynamics of shear flows requires numerical calculations that provide a long-time evolution of the system. To achieve a sufficiently long lifetime in a local numerical …
