Abstract:
Understanding the basic fluid dynamics of rotating convection can help scientists to better understand how the Sun and other stars work. In this paper, we explore the methods used in a simple numerical model of some of the inner workings of the Sun. Included are discussions of the computational and mathematical techniques used, and the results gained.
