Using simulations of solar surface convection as boundary conditions on global simulations
Abstract
Direct numerical simulations of convective stellar envelopes, are divided between two different physical regimes, that are rather difficult to reconcile - at least with the computational power of present-day computers. This paper outlines an attempt at bridging the gap between surface and interior simulations of convection.
