Penetrative convection: Fluxes
Overshooting or penetrating motions: motions extend below the interface.
Large downwards (+ve) kinetic flux due to the strong downflows.
Bouyancy braking decelerates the motions in the stable region.
![Page 8: Magnetic field transport in turbulent compressible convection Nic Brummell (303) 492-8962 JILA, University of Colorado Steve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b167f8b9ab0599918b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Main penetrative convection results: 1
3-D penetrative convection does not really penetrate, only overshoot.
No extension of the adiabatically mixed region due to low filling factor of 3-D plumes.
Even at highest Peclet numbers simulated.
Possibly not high enough Pe! (Matthias Rempel : semi-analytic model)
Increasing Peclet number
![Page 9: Magnetic field transport in turbulent compressible convection Nic Brummell (303) 492-8962 JILA, University of Colorado Steve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b167f8b9ab0599918b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Main penetrative convection results: 2
3-D penetrative convection therefore has a different scaling with the relative stability of the lower layer than 2-D (Zahn,
1991), reflecting the lack of true penetration even at low S.
So all following stuff is OVERSHOOTING convection, whether you like it or not!

Magnetic pumping
What happens if we add magnetic field to the penetrative convection?

Magnetic pumping
Magnetic flux is transported, or “pumped” out of the convection zone into the stable overshoot layer by advective action of plumes. Local amplification of the magnetic field everywhere but particularly in overshoot layer (although most of energy in CZ is fluctuating component)
![Page 13: Magnetic field transport in turbulent compressible convection Nic Brummell (303) 492-8962 JILA, University of Colorado Steve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b167f8b9ab0599918b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Magnetic pumping
Pumping stage: Flux rises initially, then is redistributed to the lower region
Diffusive stage: Diffusion then tries to erode profile (depends on bcs)

Magnetic pumping
Flux fraction in unstable and stable regions
Significant fraction of flux ends up in lower layer ~ 70%
Can define measures such as pumping time, pumping depth etc.

Main magnetic pumping results
To clear some things up:
All you need is asymmetry in vertical motions!
Does it need to be compressible?
No!
BUT compressibility automatically provides up-down asymmetry (and overshooting layer enhances asymmetry)
So would a Boussinesq version work?
Yes!
IF you introduced some asymmetry somehow (e.g. depth-dependent viscosity)
![Page 16: Magnetic field transport in turbulent compressible convection Nic Brummell (303) 492-8962 JILA, University of Colorado Steve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b167f8b9ab0599918b6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Main magnetic pumping results
Magnetic pumping is very robust:
Works for weak to moderately strong magnetic fields (max plasma studied ~ 0.03)
Works for ANY initial distribution of the magnetic field (convection zone layer, overshoot zone layer, everywhere)
Works for variety of boundary conditions (B=0, No Flux)
Works for wide variety of other parameters (notably S, including S negative => sunspot penumbrae!)
Storage of > 70% of the magnetic flux in the overshoot zone.
Doesn’t look like a turbulent diffusion! (not isotropic; doesn’t need gradients)
![Page 17: Magnetic field transport in turbulent compressible convection Nic Brummell (303) 492-8962 JILA, University of Colorado Steve](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b167f8b9ab0599918b6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Main magnetic pumping results
It should be noted that
PUMPING is a MEAN effect
and is not a static equilibrium state.
Magnetic field is constantly arriving and departing from the overshoot zone.
Strongest, most concentrated elements selected to rise?

So what about large scale structure?

Rise of structures: main results
Structure must be surprising strong to survive
If does not survive, gets pumped
There are no other outcomes (pumped coherently, or shredded rise)
Variation with parameters:
Higher Ra => pumps harder => harder to rise
Lower resistivity => less disruption of structure
Less twist => faster disruption
Stronger density contrast => harder to rise
Note that these are truly isolated tubes (idealised). Less isolated (more realistic?) tubes may encounter more difficulty with rise due to
anchoring.

Conclusions
Turbulent transport of magnetic fields and pumping important for a lot of solar MHD problems.
Where else could pumping be important?(i.e. what are we doing next!)

Compressible small-scale dynamoSmall-scale dynamo action driven by convection in
compressible convection?
Different from Boussinesq – density effects (magnetic buoyancy), asymmetry effects (pumping)
(High Pm, of course!)
Who wins the competition of pumping and dynamo action in the penetrative case?

Pumping: energy vs. flux Starts out all mean
Fluctuations rapidly appear
Then fluctuations remain strong, but especially strong wherever the mean is strong.
