A Model of the Solar Convection Zone
Abstract
In a previous paper it was shown how one could improve upon the Böhm-Vitense model of the solar convection zone by the inclusion of four different length scales and by the determination of these length scales with the use of the quasi-Vitense model as developed by Unno. In this way the vertical wave number kz , associated with a characteristic eddy, can be determined by the integration of a second order differential equation. The integrations have to be started at a suitable depth and all model calculations depend critically on the assumed structure of the top layer.
