@article{MERRYFIELD1991, abstract = {The nonlinear behavior of gravity-mode oscillations driven by He-3-destroying reactions in the solar core has been examined by numerically integrating equations describing a very simplified model. The results of a previous bifurcation analysis, which suggest that such oscillations are unlikely to attain amplitudes sufficient to trigger core convection, are verified. These results are extended to models whose nuclear reaction rates and thermal stratification represent the core somewhat more accurately. In addition we find that nonlinear processes give rise to a preference for the oscillations to develop as standing waves rather than traveling waves, thus breaking the degeneracy between these two types of motion which exists in linearized theory. Our attempts to study the large-amplitude behavior of the oscillations are hindered by a tendency for the model to become thermally unstable.}, added-at = {2009-11-03T20:21:25.000+0100}, author = {MERRYFIELD, W.
