Theory of Transport Processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
This review focuses on the transport of matter and angular momentum in the radiative zones of stellar interiors. The two main causes of such transport are the convective overshooting in the vicinity of convection zones, and the slow motions (meridional circulation and turbulence) due to the rotation of the star. In addition, momentum can be transfered through waves (generated by the motions above) and through magnetic stresses. The characteristics of those processes are examined, with special emphasis on turbulent diffusion.
