  • Convenertranstel_011509130952.pdf

    One of the Orange Aid Preprint Series in Nuclear Astrophysics, September 1968.; Supported in part by the National Science Foundation [GP-7976], the Office of Naval Research [Nonr-220(47)]. ; ABSTRACT: The motion in a convectively unstable region is expanded into an ensemble of convective cells. Each of these cells interacts with the surrounding medium according to the semiempirical model proposed by Turner (1963 ). Possible detailed models of the flow patterns within each cell are presented. The radius and velocity of these cells are given as functions of distance moved. The convective flux and rms velocity are given as averages over the ensemble of cells. As in the standard mixing length theory the principle uncertainty remains the average initial radius of the cells.
  • ThermalModels_081108112916.pdf

    One of the orange Aid Preprint Series in Nuclear Astrophysics by W. B. Hubbard, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California.; Argues that the Saturnian models are flawed as their predictions do not line up with detected gravitational events.
