A Note on Anisotropic Convection and the Rotation of Stellar Convective Zones
Abstract
The interaction of rotation and convection produces a latitude dependent anisotropic turbulent viscosity. When this friction is dominant, equilibrium of a convective outer layer of a star is achieved by an equatorial acceleration and a two-zone circulation, towards the equator at low surface latitudes.
