On internal wave breaking and tidal dissipation near the centre of a solar-type star
On internal wave breaking and tidal dissipation near the centre of a solar-type star
We study the fate of internal gravity waves, which are excited by tidal forcing by a short-period planet at the interface of convection and radiation zones, approaching the centre of a solar-type star. We study at what amplitude these wave are subject to instabilities. These instabilities lead to wave breaking …
