Supergranulation and multiscale flows in the solar photosphere: Global observations vs. a theory of anisotropic turbulent convection
The Sun provides us with the only spatially well-resolved astrophysical example of turbulent thermal convection. While various aspects of solar photospheric turbulence, such as granulation (one-Megameter horizontal scale), are well understood, the questions of the physical origin and dynamical organ...
