Part 1 Preliminaries: the sunspot story - black spots on a shining disk, the golden century; the flow of concepts - the foundations - Zollner's flow and Lebedinski's anisotropy, the mean-field concept - Eddy Viscosity and the A-effect, instability theory - cconvection and rotation, determination of A - plane layer and oblique rotation; current observations - convective modes, rotation laws, horizontal cross-correlation meridional flow - mean temperature, temporal variations; transporters of angular momentum - the conservation law, viscosity, meridional flow - Lorentz force, the main transporter - Reynolds stress, turbulence, turbulent angular momentum transport (TMT), structure of the A-effect, boundary conditions. Part 2 Macroscopy: meridional circulation and differential rotation - slow flow, fast flow, sources of meridional circulation; the A-effect and differential rotation - the fundamental A-mode, the higher A-modes, the thin-shell approximation, the thick shell approximation, conclusions; anisotropic viscosity and differential rotation - on the Wasiutynski-Kippenhahn theory, negative viscosity?, diffusive contributions to the turbulent momentum transport; energy transport in rotating turbulence - screening effects, energy transport, the temperature equation; the Pole-Equator temperature difference - the simplest model, two-shell model with constant but different densities; a complete model - the zero-order equations, rotation equations; differential rotation, meridional circulation and Pole-Equator temperature difference - results - a simple model, moderately inhomogeneous models, models in which V(1)...HV(1) decrease strongly, a new instability for fast rotation?; Lorentz force and differential rotation - introduction, toroidal Lorentz force and dynamo models, hydrodynamics with Lorentz force, preliminary numerical results. Part 3 Microscopy: turbulence models - the correlation tensor, the spectral tensor, spectral functions; theory of the A-effect - the spectral tensor for rotating turbulence, the two parts of the correlation tensor, the fundamental mode of A, stratified medium with isotropic forces; the higher modes of A - axisymmetric turbulence, non-axisymmetric turbulence, another approach, the TMT modes required; the theory of Eddy viscosity - the viscosity terms, determination of the viscosity tensor, Eddy viscosities of simple turbulences; the theory of Eddy conductivity - the Eddy conductivity tensor, the scalar Eddy conductivity, the turbulent Prandtl number, the simplest approximation for rotating turbulence.
Reviews for Differential Rotational Stella
'A successful school in the 21st Century needs skilled teachers and support staff. This excellent book is an essential resource for the training of Learning Mentors. Written by a talented practitioner of vast experience, it provides a clear training programme for Learning Mentors' - Bushra Nasir, Headteacher, Plashet School
