Abstract

We have carried out inversions of travel times as measured by Gizon et al. to infer the internal profile of the solar meridional circulation (MC). A linear inverse problem has been solved by the regularized least-squares method with a constraint that the angular momentum (AM) transport by MC should be equatorward (HK21-type constraint). Our motivation for using this constraint is based on the result by Hotta & Kusano (hereafter HK21), where the solar equator-fast rotation was reproduced successfully without any manipulation. The inversion result indicates that the MC profile is a double-cell structure if the so-called HK21 regime, in which AM transported by MC sustains the equator-fast rotation, correctly describes the physics inside the solar convective zone. The sum of the squared residuals computed with the inferred double-cell MC profile is comparable to that computed with the single-cell MC profile obtained when we exclude the HK21-type constraint, showing that both profiles can explain the data more or less at the same level. However, we also find that adding the HK21-type constraint degrades the resolution of the averaging kernels. Although it is difficult for us to determine the large-scale morphology of the solar MC at the moment, our attempt highlights the relevance of investigating the solar MC profile from both theoretical and observational perspectives.

Abstract

The Sun’s axisymmetric large-scale flows, differential rotation and meridional circulation, are thought to be maintained by the influence of rotation on the thermal-convective motions in the solar convection zone. These large-scale flows are crucial for maintaining the Sun’s global magnetic field. Over the last several decades, our understanding of large-scale motions in the Sun has significantly improved, both through observational and theoretical efforts. Helioseismology has constrained the flow topology in the solar interior, and the growth of supercomputers has enabled simulations that can self-consistently generate large-scale flows in rotating spherical convective shells. In this article, we review our current understanding of solar convection and the large-scale flows present in the Sun, including those associated with the recently discovered inertial modes of oscillation. We discuss some issues still outstanding, and provide an outline of future efforts needed to address these.

Abstract

The physical connection between thermal convection in the solar interior and the solar wind remains unclear due to their significant scale separation. Using an extended version of the three-dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic code RAMENS, we perform the first comprehensive simulation of the solar wind formation, starting from the wave excitation and the small-scale dynamo below the photosphere. The simulation satisfies various observational constraints as a slow solar wind emanating from the coronal hole boundary. The magnetic energy is persistently released in the simulated corona, showing a hot upward flow at the interface between open and closed fields. To evaluate the energetic contributions from Alfvén wave and interchange reconnection, we develop a new method to quantify the cross-field energy transport in the simulated atmosphere. The measured energy transport from closed coronal loops to open field accounts for approximately half of the total. These findings suggest a significant role of the supergranular-scale interchange reconnection in solar wind formation.

Abstract

One key aspect of understanding the solar dynamo mechanism and the evolution of solar magnetism is to properly describe the emergence of solar active regions. In this Letter, we describe the Lagrangian photospheric flows dynamics during a simulated flux emergence that produces an active region formed by pores. We analyze the lower photospheric flow organization prior, during and following the rise of an active region, uncovering the repelling and attracting photospheric structures that act as sources and sinks for magnetic element transport. Our results show that around 10 hr before the simulated emergence, considerable global changes are taking place on mesogranular scales indicated by an increase of the number of regions acting as a source to the multiple and scattered emergences of small-scale magnetic flux. At the location of active region’s appearance, the converging flows become weaker and there is an arising of a diverging region 8 hr before the emergence time. Our study also indicates that the strong concentration of magnetic field affects the flow dynamics beyond the area of the actual simulated pores, leading to complex and strongly diverging flows in the neighboring regions. Our findings suggest that the Lagrangian analysis is a powerful tool to describe the changes in the photospheric flows due to magnetic flux emergence.

ABSTRACT

We investigate the dependence of the angular momentum transport (AMT) on the spatial scales with numerical simulation of solar-like stars. It is thought that turbulence has an essential role in constructing solar differential rotation (DR). In a widely used method to analyse the construction mechanism of DR, the flow is divided into two components, ‘mean flow’ and ‘turbulence’, where ‘turbulence’ includes a broad spectrum of spatial scales. The features of the AMT are expected to depend on the scale. In this study, we decompose the angular momentum flux (AMF) to investigate the dependence of the AMF on the spatial scale. We compare the results with anti-solar (fast pole) and solar-type (fast equator) DR. Our conclusions are summarized as (1) Radially outward AMT is seen on a large scale (60 Mm ≤ L < 120 Mm) in rotationally constrained systems. (2) Even when the scale-integrated AMF is negative, we sometimes observe positive AMF on certain scales. (3) Small-scale turbulence tends to transport the angular momentum radially inward and causes the anti-solar DR, indicating that high-resolution simulation is a negative factor for solar-like DR. Our method to decompose the AMF provides a deep understanding of the angular momentum and construction mechanism of DR.

Abstarct

Strong solar flares occur in δ-spots characterized by the opposite-polarity magnetic fluxes in a single penumbra. Sunspot formation via flux emergence from the convection zone to the photosphere can be strongly affected by convective turbulent flows. It has not yet been shown how crucial convective flows are for the formation of δ-spots. The aim of this study is to reveal the impact of convective flows in the convection zone on the formation and evolution of sunspot magnetic fields. We simulated the emergence and transport of magnetic flux tubes in the convection zone using radiative magnetohydrodynamics code R2D2. We carried out 93 simulations by allocating the twisted flux tubes to different positions in the convection zone. As a result, both δ-type and β-type magnetic distributions were reproduced only by the differences in the convective flows surrounding the flux tubes. The δ-spots were formed by the collision of positive and negative magnetic fluxes on the photosphere. The unipolar and bipolar rotations of the δ-spots were driven by magnetic twist and writhe, transporting magnetic helicity from the convection zone to the corona. We detected a strong correlation between the distribution of the nonpotential magnetic field in the photosphere and the position of the downflow plume in the convection zone. The correlation could be detected 20–30 h before the flux emergence. The results suggest that high free energy regions in the photosphere can be predicted even before the magnetic flux appears in the photosphere by detecting the downflow profile in the convection zone.

Abstract

Solar magnetic fields comprise an 11 yr activity cycle, represented by the number of sunspots. The maintenance of such a solar magnetic field can be attributed to fluid motion in the convection zone, i.e., a dynamo. This study conducts the mean-field analyses of the global solar dynamo simulation presented by Hotta et al. (2016). Although the study succeeds in producing coherent large-scale magnetic fields at high Reynolds numbers, the detailed physics of the maintenance of these fields have not been fully understood. This study extracts the α tensor and the turbulent magnetic diffusivity tensor β through mean-field analyses. The turbulent magnetic diffusivity exhibits a significant decrease toward high Reynolds numbers. The decrease in the turbulent magnetic diffusivity suppresses the energy conversion of large-scale field to small-scale field. This implies that the decrease in the turbulent magnetic diffusivity contributes to the maintenance of a large-scale magnetic field at high Reynolds numbers. A significant downward turbulent pumping is observed; it is enhanced in the weak phase of the large-scale field. This study proposes a cyclic reversal process of a large-scale field, which is dominantly driven by the α effect and is possibly triggered by downward pumping.

Abstract

We analyze the simulation result shown in Hotta & Kusano (2021) in which the solar-like differential rotation is reproduced. The Sun is rotating differentially with the fast equator and the slow pole. It is widely thought that the thermal convection maintains the differential rotation, but recent high-resolution simulations tend to fail to reproduce the fast equator. This fact is an aspect of one of the biggest problems in solar physics called the convective conundrum. Hotta & Kusano succeed in reproducing the solar-like differential rotation without using any manipulation with an unprecedentedly high-resolution simulation. In this study, we analyze the simulation data to understand the maintenance mechanism of the fast equator. Our analyses lead to conclusions that are summarized as follows. (1) The superequipatition magnetic field is generated by the compression, which can indirectly convert the massive internal energy to magnetic energy. (2) The efficient small-scale energy transport suppresses large-scale convection energy. (3) Non-Taylor–Proudman differential rotation is maintained by the entropy gradient caused by the anisotropic latitudinal energy transport enhanced by the magnetic field. (4) The fast equator is maintained by the meridional flow mainly caused by the Maxwell stress. The Maxwell stress itself also has a role in the angular momentum transport for the fast near-surface equator (we call it the Punching ball effect). The fast equator in the simulation is reproduced not due to the low Rossby number regime but due to the strong magnetic field. This study newly finds the role of the magnetic field in the maintenance of differential rotation.

Carbon-14 in tree rings have suggested there had been multiple extreme solar proton events (SPEs) in the past. While the largest events such as in 774–775 CE can be significantly detected by the typical precision of accelerator mass spectrometry, smaller but possibly more frequent events have been difficult to be detected. Thus, the frequency or any characteristics of such relatively smaller events are still largely unknown. In this paper, we report that large SPEs had occurred in 1261–1262, 1268–1269, and 1279–1280 CE before the onset of the Wolf minimum based on high-precision carbon-14 analyses. It is suggested that they had occurred at the maximum and the declining phase of solar cycles, and that they had occurred during the transition time of solar activity into a deep minimum. We propose that this episode may provide a unique opportunity to elucidate a potential interaction between the solar dynamo and extreme solar flares.

Abstract

Although solar activity may significantly impact the global environment and socioeconomic systems, the mechanisms for solar eruptions and the subsequent processes have not yet been fully understood. Thus, modern society supported by advanced information systems is at risk from severe space weather disturbances. Project for solar–terrestrial environment prediction (PSTEP) was launched to improve this situation through synergy between basic science research and operational forecast. The PSTEP is a nationwide research collaboration in Japan and was conducted from April 2015 to March 2020, supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. By this project, we sought to answer the fundamental questions concerning the solar–terrestrial environment and aimed to build a next-generation space weather forecast system to prepare for severe space weather disasters. The PSTEP consists of four research groups and proposal-based research units. It has made a significant progress in space weather research and operational forecasts, publishing over 500 refereed journal papers and organizing four international symposiums, various workshops and seminars, and summer school for graduate students at Rikubetsu in 2017. This paper is a summary report of the PSTEP and describes the major research achievements it produced.

<title>ABSTRACT</title>
We perform radiative magnetohydrodynamic calculations for the solar-quiet region to investigate the dependence of statistical flow on magnetic properties and the three-dimensional structure of magnetic patches in the presence of large-scale flow that mimics differential rotation. It has been confirmed that strong magnetic field patches move faster in the longitudinal direction at the solar surface. Consequently, strong magnetic patches penetrate deeper into the solar interior. The motion of the deep-rooted magnetic patches is influenced by the faster differential rotation in the deeper layer. In this study, we perform realistic radiative magnetohydrodynamic calculations using r2d2 code to validate that stronger patches have deeper roots. We also add large-scale flow to mimic the differential rotation. The magnetic patches are automatically detected and tracked, and we evaluate the depth of 30 000 magnetic patches. The velocities of 2.9 million magnetic patches are then measured at the photosphere. We obtain the dependence of these values on the magnetic properties, such as field strength and flux. Our results confirm that strong magnetic patches tend to show deeper roots and faster movement, and we compare our results with observations using the point spread function of instruments at the Hinode and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Our result is quantitatively consistent with previous observational results of the SDO.

<title>Abstract</title>The Sun exhibits centennial-scale activity variations and sometimes encounters grand solar minimum when solar activity becomes extremely weak and sunspots disappear for several decades. Such an extreme weakening of solar activity could cause severe climate, causing massive reductions in crop yields in some regions. During the past decade, the Sun’s activity has tended to decline, raising concerns that the Sun might be heading for the next grand minimum. However, we still have an underdeveloped understanding of solar dynamo mechanisms and hence precise prediction of near-future solar activity is not attained. Here we show that the 11-year solar cycles were significantly lengthened before the onset of the Maunder Minimum (1645–1715 CE) based on unprecedentedly high-precision data of carbon-14 content in tree rings. It implies that flow speed in the convection zone is an essential parameter to determine long-term solar activity variations. We find that a 16 year-long cycle had occurred three solar cycles before the onset of prolonged sunspot disappearance, suggesting a longer-than-expected preparatory period for the grand minimum. As the Sun has shown a tendency of cycle lengthening since Solar Cycle 23 (1996–2008 CE), the behavior of Solar Cycle 25 can be critically important to the later solar activity.

<title>ABSTRACT</title>
We perform a series of radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations to understand the amplification mechanism of the exceptionally strong horizontal magnetic field in delta-type sunspots. In the simulations, we succeed in reproducing the delta-type sunspot and resulting strong magnetic field exceeding 6000 G in a light bridge between the positive and negative polarities. Our conclusions in this study are summarized as follows: (1) The essential amplification mechanism of the strong horizontal magnetic field is the shear motion caused by the rotation of two spots. (2) The strong horizontal magnetic field remains the force-free state. (3) The peak strength of the magnetic fields does not depend on the spatial resolution, top boundary condition, or Alfvén speed limit. The origin of the rotating motion is rooted in the deep convection zone. Therefore, the magnetic field in the delta-spot light bridge can be amplified to the superequipartition values in the photosphere.

Convection in the Sun’s outer envelope generates turbulence and drives differential rotation, meridional circulation, and the global magnetic cycle. We develop a greater understanding of these processes by contrasting observations with simulations of global convection. These comparisons also enhance our comprehension of the physics of distant Sun-like stars. Here, we infer toroidal flow power as a function of wave number, frequency, and depth in the solar interior through helioseismic analyses of space-based observations. The inferred flows grow with spatial wave number and temporal frequency and are confined to low latitudes, supporting the argument that rotation induces systematic differences between the poles and equator. In contrast, the simulations used here show the opposite trends—power diminishing with increasing wave number and frequency while flow amplitudes become weakest at low latitudes. These differences highlight gaps in our understanding of solar convection and point to challenges ahead.

<title>ABSTRACT</title>
We investigate the rising flux tube and the formation of sunspots in an unprecedentedly deep computational domain that covers the whole convection zone with a radiative magnetohydrodynamics simulation. Previous calculations had shallow computational boxes (&amp;lt;30 Mm) and convection zones at a depth of 200 Mm. By using our new numerical code Radition and RSST for Deep Dynamics(r2d2), we succeed in covering the whole convection zone and reproduce the formation of the sunspot from a simple horizontal flux tube because of the turbulent thermal convection. The main findings are as follows. (1) The rising speed of the flux tube is larger than the upward convection velocity because of the low density caused by the magnetic pressure and the suppression of the mixing. (2) The rising speed of the flux tube exceeds 250 m s−1 at a depth of 18 Mm, while we do not see any clear evidence of the divergent flow 3 h before the emergence at the solar surface. (3) Initially, the root of the flux tube is filled with the downflows, and then the upflow fills the centre of the flux tube during the formation of the sunspot. (4) The essential mechanisms for the formation of the sunspot are the coherent inflow and the turbulent transport. (5) The low-temperature region is extended to a depth of at least 40 Mm in the matured sunspot, with the high-temperature region in the centre of the flux tube. Some of the findings indicate the importance of the deep computational domain for the flux emergence simulations.

<italic>Context.</italic> The reduced speed of sound technique (RSST) has been used for efficient simulation of low Mach number flows in solar and stellar convection zones. The basic RSST equations are hyperbolic and are suitable for parallel computation by domain decomposition. The application of RSST is limited to cases in which density perturbations are much smaller than the background density. In addition, nonconservative variables are required to be evolved using this method, which is not suitable in cases where discontinuities such as shock waves coexist in a single numerical domain.


<italic>Aims.</italic> In this study, we suggest a new semiconservative formulation of the RSST that can be applied to low Mach number flows with large density variations.


<italic>Methods.</italic> We derive the wave speed of the original and newly suggested methods to clarify that these methods can reduce the speed of sound without affecting the entropy wave. The equations are implemented using the finite volume method. Several numerical tests are carried out to verify the suggested methods.


<italic>Results.</italic> The analysis and numerical results show that the original RSST is not applicable when mass density variations are large. In contrast, the newly suggested methods are found to be efficient in such cases. We also suggest variants of the RSST that conserve momentum in the machine precision. The newly suggested variants are formulated as semiconservative equations, which reduce to the conservative form of the Euler equations when the speed of sound is not reduced. This property is advantageous when both high and low Mach number regions are included in the numerical domain.


<italic>Conclusions.</italic> The newly suggested forms of RSST can be applied to a wider range of low Mach number flows.

Copyright © 2019 The Authors. The solar convection zone is filled with turbulent convection in highly stratified plasma. Several theoretical and observational studies suggest that the numerical calculations overestimate the convection velocity. Since all deep convection zone calculations exclude the solar surface due to substantial temporal and spatial scale separations, the solar surface, which drives the thermal convection with efficient radiative cooling, has been thought to be the key to solve this discrepancy. Thanks to the recent development in massive supercomputers, we are successful in performing the comprehensive calculation covering the whole solar convection zone. We compare the results with and without the solar surface in the local domain and without the surface in the full sphere. The calculations do not include the rotation and the magnetic field. The surface region has an unexpectedly weak influence on the deep convection zone. We find that just including the solar surface cannot solve the problem.

The differentially rotating outer layers of stars are thought to play a role in driving their magnetic activity, but the underlying mechanisms that generate and sustain differential rotation are poorly understood. We report the measurement using asteroseismology of latitudinal differential rotation in the convection zones of 40 Sun-like stars. For the most significant detections, the stars’ equators rotate approximately twice as fast as their midlatitudes. The latitudinal shear inferred from asteroseismology is much larger than predictions from numerical simulations.

Stencil computation has many applications in science and engineering, thus many optimization techniques such as temporal blocking have been developed. They are, however, rarely used in real-world applications, since a large amount of careful programming is required for even the simplest of stencils. We introduce Formura, a domain specific language that provides easy access to optimized stencil computations. Higher-order integration schemes can be defined using mathematical notations. Formura generates C code with MPI calls and performs autotuning. Hence its performance is portable to most distributed-memory computers. We show the scientific applicability of Formura by performing magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and belowground biology simulations. Ability to reach bytes-per-flops ratio only attainable by temporal blocking is demonstrated. We also demonstrate scaling up to the full nodes of the K computer, with 1.184 Pflops, 11.62% floating-pointoperation efficiency, and 31.26% memory throughput efficiency.

The 11-year solarmagnetic cycle shows a high degree of coherence in spite of the turbulent nature of the solar convection zone. It has been found in recent high-resolution magnetohydrodynamics simulations that the maintenance of a large-scale coherent magnetic field is difficult with small viscosity and magnetic diffusivity (&lt;= 10(12) square centimenters per second). We reproduced previous findings that indicate a reduction of the energy in the large-scalemagnetic field for lower diffusivities and demonstrate the recovery of the global-scalemagnetic field using unprecedentedly high resolution. We found an efficient small-scale dynamo that suppresses small-scale flows, which mimics the properties of large diffusivity. As a result, the global-scale magnetic field is maintained even in the regime of small diffusivities-that is, large Reynolds numbers.

Programming in HPC is a tedious work. Therefore functional programming languages that generate HPC programs have been proposed. However, they are not widely used by application scientists, because of learning barrier, and lack of demonstrated application performance. We have designed Formura which adopts application-friendly features such as typed rational array indices. Formura users can describe mathematical concepts such as operation over derivative operators using functional programming. Formura allows intuitive expression over array elements while ensuring the program is a stencil computation, so that state-of-the-art stencil optimization techniques such as temporal blocking is always applied to Formura-generated program. We demonstrate the usefulness of Formura by implementing a preliminary below-ground biology simulation. Optimized C-code are generated from 672 bytes of Formura program. The simulation was executed on the full nodes of the K computer, with 1.184 Pflops, 11.62% floating-point-instruction efficiency, and 31.26% memory throughput efficiency.

We discuss recent observational, theoretical and numerical progress made in understanding the solar global magnetism and its short and long term variability. We discuss the physical process thought to be at the origin of the solar magnetic field and its 22-yr cycle, namely dynamo action, and the nonlinear interplay between convection, rotation, radiation and magnetic field, yielding modulations of the solar constant or of the large scale flows such as the torsional oscillations. We also discuss the role of the field parity and dynamo families in explaining the complex multipolar structure of the solar global magnetic field. We then present some key MHD processes acting in the deep radiative interior and discuss the probable topology of a primordial field there. Finally we summarize how helioseismology has contributed to these recent advances and how it could contribute to resolving current unsolved problems in solar global dynamics and magnetism.

We investigate small-scale dynamo action in the solar convection zone through a series of high-resolution MHD simulations in a local Cartesian domain with 1 R-circle dot (solar radius) of horizontal extent and a radial extent from 0.715 to 0.96 R-circle dot. The dependence of the solution on resolution and diffusivity is studied. For a grid spacing of less than 350 km, the rms magnetic field strength near the base of the convection zone reaches 95% of the equipartition field strength (i.e., magnetic and kinetic energy are comparable). For these solutions the Lorentz force feedback on the convection velocity is found to be significant. The velocity near the base of the convection zone is reduced to 50% of the hydrodynamic one. In spite of the significant decrease of the convection velocity, the reduction in the enthalpy flux is relatively small, since the magnetic field also suppresses the horizontal mixing of the entropy between up- and downflow regions. This effect increases the amplitude of the entropy perturbation and makes convective energy transport more efficient. We discuss potential implications of these results for solar global convection and dynamo simulations.

We present a high-resolution, highly stratified numerical simulation of rotating thermal convection in a spherical shell. Our aim is to study in detail the processes that can maintain a near surface shear layer (NSSL) as inferred from helioseismology. Using the reduced speed of sound technique, we can extend our global convection simulation to 0.99 R-circle dot and include, near the top of our domain, small-scale convection with short timescales that is only weakly influenced by rotation. We find the formation of an NSSL preferentially in high latitudes in the depth range of r = 0.95-0.975 R-circle dot. The maintenance mechanisms are summarized as follows. Convection under the weak influence of rotation leads to Reynolds stresses that transport angular momentum radially inward in all latitudes. This leads to the formation of a strong poleward-directed meridional flow and an NSSL, which is balanced in the meridional plane by forces resulting from the "v(r)' v(theta)'" correlation of turbulent velocities. The origin of the required correlations depends to some degree on latitude. In high latitudes, a positive correlation "v(r)' v(theta)'" is induced in the NSSL by the poleward meridional flow whose amplitude increases with the radius, while a negative correlation is generated by the Coriolis force in bulk of the convection zone. In low latitudes, a positive correlation "v(r)' v(theta)'" results from rotationally aligned convection cells ("banana cells"). The force caused by these Reynolds stresses is in balance with the Coriolis force in the NSSL.

We investigate the solar differential rotation with special interest for the near surface shear layer (NSSL) in a high-resolution hydrodynamic numerical calculation. The sun is rotating differentially. Helioseismology has revealed the detailed structure of the solar differential rotation. One of the most important features is the NSSL. It is thought that the solar differential rotation is maintained by the turbulent thermal convection. In the NSSL convection time scales are short, leading to a regime with weak influence of rotation on convection. In order to reproduce the NSSL by the numerical calculations, we must use a large number of grids and integrate a large number of time steps for covering the broad spatial and temporal scales. This requirements for the NSSL is achieved using our recent efficient numerical method. In the calculation, the global scale and the 10 Mm-scale convection is established simultaneously. Then the solar like NSSL is partially reproduced. Around the NSSL, the convection transports the angular momentum radially inward and generates the poleward meridional flow. The small scale convection acts as the turbulent viscosity on the meridional flow. The turbulent viscous stress balances with the Coriolis force in the NSSL.

We carry out non-rotating high-resolution calculations of the solar global convection, which resolve convective scales of less than 10 Mm. To cope with the low Mach number conditions in the lower convection zone, we use the reduced speed of sound technique (RSST), which is simple to implement and requires only local communication in the parallel computation. In addition, the RSST allows us to expand the computational domain upward to about 0.99 R ⊙, as it can also handle compressible flows. Using this approach, we study the solar convection zone on the global scale, including small-scale near-surface convection. In particular, we investigate the influence of the top boundary condition on the convective structure throughout the convection zone as well as on small-scale dynamo action. Our main conclusions are as follows. (1) The small-scale downflows generated in the near-surface layer penetrate into deeper layers to some extent and excite small-scale turbulence in the region >0.9 R ⊙, where R ⊙is the solar radius. (2) In the deeper convection zone (<0.9 R ⊙), the convection is not influenced by the location of the upper boundary. (3) Using a large eddy simulation approach, we can achieve small-scale dynamo action and maintain a field of about 0.15B eq-0.25B eq throughout the convection zone, where B eq is the equipartition magnetic field to the kinetic energy. (4) The overall dynamo efficiency varies significantly in the convection zone as a consequence of the downward directed Poynting flux and the depth variation of the intrinsic convective scales. © 2014.

Using two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics calculations, we investigate a twist generation mechanism on a magnetic flux tube at the base of the solar convection zone based on the idea of Choudhuri (2003, Sol. Phys., 215, 31) in which a toroidal magnetic field is wrapped by a surrounding mean poloidal field. During generation of the twist, the flux tube follows four phases. (1) It quickly splits into two parts with vortex motions rolling up the poloidal magnetic field. (2) Owing to the physical mechanism similar to that of the magneto-rotational instability, the rolled-up poloidal field is bent and amplified. (3) The magnetic tension of the disturbed poloidal magnetic field reduces the vorticity, and the lifting force caused by vortical motion decreases. (4) The flux tube gets twisted and begins to rise again without splitting. Investigation of these processes is significant because it shows that a flux tube without any initial twist can rise to the surface in relatively weak poloidal fields.

We investigate an intensification mechanism for the magnetic field near the base of the solar convection zone that does not rely on differential rotation. Such mechanism in addition to differential rotation has been suggested by studies of flux emergence, which typically require field strength in excess of those provided by differential rotation alone. We study here a process in which potential energy of the superadiabatically stratified convection zone is converted into magnetic energy. This mechanism, known as the "explosion of magnetic flux tubes," has been previously studied in thin flux tube approximation as well as two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations; here we expand the investigation to three-dimensional MHD simulations. Our main result is that enough intensification can be achieved in a three-dimensional magnetic flux sheet as long as the spatial scale of the imposed perturbation normal to the magnetic field is sufficiently large. When this spatial scale is small, the flux sheet tends to rise toward the surface, resulting in a significant decrease of the magnetic field amplification.

We investigate the value of horizontal turbulent diffusivity eta by numerical calculation of thermal convection. In this study, we introduce a new method whereby the turbulent diffusivity is estimated by monitoring the time development of the passive scalar, which is initially distributed in a given Gaussian function with a spatial scale d(0). Our conclusions are as follows: (1) assuming the relation eta = L-c nu(rms)/3, where nu(rms) is the root-mean-square (rms) velocity, the characteristic length L-c is restricted by the shortest one among the pressure (density) scale height and the region depth. (2) The value of turbulent diffusivity becomes greater with the larger initial distribution scale d(0). (3) The approximation of turbulent diffusion holds better when the ratio of the initial distribution scale d(0) to the characteristic length L-c is larger.

Context. The anelastic approximation is often adopted in numerical calculations with low Mach numbers, such as those including stellar internal convection. This approximation requires so-called frequent global communication, because of an elliptic partial differential equation. Frequent global communication is, however, negative factor for the parallel computing performed with a large number of CPUs.
Aims. We test the validity of a method that artificially reduces the speed of sound for the compressible fluid equations in the context of stellar internal convection. This reduction in the speed of sound leads to longer time steps despite the low Mach number, while the numerical scheme remains fully explicit and the mathematical system is hyperbolic, thus does not require frequent global communication.
Methods. Two- and three-dimensional compressible hydrodynamic equations are solved numerically. Some statistical quantities of solutions computed with different effective Mach numbers (owing to the reduction in the speed of sound) are compared to test the validity of our approach.
Results. Numerical simulations with artificially reduced speed of sound are a valid approach as long as the effective Mach number (based on the lower speed of sound) remains less than 0.7.

The accretion of small bodies in the Solar System is a fundamental process that was followed by planet formation. Chronological information of meteorites can constrain when asteroids formed. Secondary carbonates show extremely old Mn-53-Cr-53 radiometric ages, indicating that some hydrous asteroids accreted rapidly. However, previous studies have failed to define accurate Mn/Cr ratios; hence, these old ages could be artefacts. Here we develop a new method for accurate Mn/Cr determination, and report a reliable age of 4,563.4+0.4/-0.5 million years ago for carbonates in carbonaceous chondrites. We find that these carbonates have identical ages, which are younger than those previously estimated. This result suggests the late onset of aqueous activities in the Solar System. The young carbonate age cannot be explained if the parent asteroid accreted within 3 million years after the birth of the Solar System. Thus, we conclude that hydrous asteroids accreted later than differentiated and metamorphosed asteroids.

The flux-transport dynamo model for the solar sunspot cycle is revised and is demonstrated by using the axisymmetric kinematic simulations. The flux-transport dynamo has succeeded to explain the general cyclic behaviors of the sunspots especially in the gradual shift of the sunspot toward the equator and the poleward migration of the surface magnetic field. It has been known, however, that previous models failed to avoid the strong polar surface field and the strong toroidal field at the base in the high latitude, both of which are not consistent with observations. With an additional intense diffusivity profile near the surface two problematic features can be avoided. The surface poloidal field generated by the a effect is transported down to the base of the convection zone not by the meridional flow but by the surface diffusion mainly in the mid-latitude. This prevents the concentration of the polar surface field and the amplification of the toroidal field at the high latitude. The condition to obtain the proper magnetic field strength near the pole is eta(surf)/u(0) &gt; 2 x 10(9)cm, where eta(surf) and u(0) are the surface diffusivity and the meridional flow speed, respectively. We also do some parameter studies to ensure the importance of the surface strong diffusivity.

We investigate differential rotation in rapidly rotating solar-type stars by means of an axisymmetric mean field model that was previously applied to the Sun. This allows us to calculate the latitudinal entropy gradient with a reasonable physical basis. Our conclusions are as follows. (1) Differential rotation approaches the Taylor-Proudman state when stellar rotation is faster than solar rotation. (2) Entropy gradient generated by the attached subadiabatic layer beneath the convection zone becomes relatively small with a large stellar angular velocity. (3) Turbulent viscosity and turbulent angular momentum transport determine the spatial difference of angular velocity Delta Omega. (4) The results of our mean field model can explain observations of stellar differential rotation.

We investigated the dependence of the solar magnetic parity between the hemispheres on two important parameters, the turbulent diffusivity and the meridional flow, by means of axisymmetric kinematic dynamo simulations based on the flux-transport dynamo model. It is known that the coupling of the magnetic field between hemispheres due to turbulent diffusivity is an important factor for the solar parity issue, but the detailed criterion for the generation of the dipole field has not been investigated. Our conclusions are as follows. (1) The stronger diffusivity near the surface is more likely to cause the magnetic field to be a dipole. (2) The thinner layer of the strong diffusivity near the surface is also more apt to generate a dipolar magnetic field. (3) The faster meridional flow is more prone to cause the magnetic field to be a quadrupole, i.e., symmetric about the equator. These results show that turbulent diffusivity and meridional flow are crucial for the configuration of the solar global magnetic field.
