Abstract:
The turbulent nature of the motions on the solar photosphere is being emphasized
more and more by the high resolution quality observations. The processes of inverse
cascade of energy in a turbulent medium are being explored for modeling the
hierarchal flow patterns on the solar surface. Here, the development of large scale
flows is studied using the Kolmogorovic arguments for a statistically stationary turbulent
fluid as well as through the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations including
the Reynold's stresses generated by the small scale flows, in a manner akin to the
dynamo problem. Some of the testable predictions of the model are also listed.
