Fig. 13

Azimuthally averaged velocity field around a 5 ME core, similar to Fig. 10, but without the addition of accretion luminosity (run RADL0k0.01). The background shows the azimuthally averaged compressional heating around the core. A large fraction of the gas that falls in from high elevation through the poles gets compressed above the inner planetary envelope, which gives rise to a mushroom-shaped compressional heat map. The inset zooms in on the vector field close to the core. A small amount of convergent motion can be identified, in contrast with the inset in Fig. 10 that shows convective overturn.
