Notes. In all runs, Pm = 1, by taking χSGS(r1) = 5 × 108 m2 s-1, ν = 9.3 × 107 m2 s-1, PrSGS = 0.25, ℒ = 3.85 × 10-5, Ta = 2.98 × 106, ξ = 0.0325, which gives , Ω0/ Ω = 1, and the grid resolution is 128 × 256 × 128. The volume and time averaged total kinetic energy in units of GMρ0/R is and the kinetic energies of the meridional circulation and the differential rotation are and , respectively. The quantities and are the fractions of total flux transported by radiative conduction and resolved convection at the middle of the convection zone. Here, “DR” stands for differential rotation. Runs B and B′′ are same as Run B, but with larger (± 84°) and smaller (± 66°) latitudinal extents, respectively.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
