Planetary Atmospheres

Description of Problem

Hot Jupiters receive much more energy through stellar irradiation then internal heating. They are also tidally locked due to their proximity. Dayside at 1000K, night side at 100K without heat redistribution.

Profiles

  • Density

  • Enclosed Mass

  • Pressure - and rho*R*T mismatch

Module supports

  • Global simulation in a fixed frame
  • Global simulation in a rotating frame
  • Local simulation in a rotating frame
  • Spatial based Refinement of planet
  • Stellar envelope in HSE

Still working on

  • Basic testing of hydrostatic equilibrium for planet
  • Line transfer for stellar heating
  • Second AMR implicit solve may need to be added later (ie Howell and Greenough 2002)
