Results of the mean flows from the hydrodynamic calculation. (a) Differential rotation ⟨Ω⟩=Ω0 + ⟨vϕ⟩/(r sin θ). The black dotted curve shows the location of the base of the convection zone at r = 0.71 R, below which the stratification is subadiabatic. (b) Meridional circulation ⟨vθ⟩. The black solid and dashed curves show contours of the streamfunction Ψ defined by ρ0vm = ∇ × (Ψeϕ) where vm = ⟨vrer + ⟨vθeθ. The meridional circulation is counter-clockwise (clockwise) in the northern (southern) hemisphere, i.e., the flow is poleward (equatorward) at the surface (base).
