Introduction to Modeling Convection in Planets and Stars: Magnetic Field, Density Stratification, Rotation (Princeton Series in Astrophysics)

本書為讀者提供了編寫計算機代碼所需的技能，該代碼模擬了旋轉行星和恆星內部和外部環境中的對流，內部重力波和磁場的產生。 本書的第三部分，Glatzmaier演示瞭如何結合更複雜的物理學，包括磁場，密度分層和旋轉的影響。

This book provides readers with the skills they need to write computer codes that simulate convection, internal gravity waves, and magnetic field generation in the interiors and atmospheres of rotating planets and stars. Using a teaching method perfected in the classroom, Gary Glatzmaier begins by offering a step-by-step guide on how to design codes for simulating nonlinear time-dependent thermal convection in a two-dimensional box using Fourier expansions in the horizontal direction and finite differences in the vertical direction. He then describes how to implement more efficient and accurate numerical methods and more realistic geometries in two and three dimensions. In the third part of the book, Glatzmaier demonstrates how to incorporate more sophisticated physics, including the effects of magnetic field, density stratification, and rotation.

Featuring numerous exercises throughout, this is an ideal textbook for students and an essential resource for researchers.
