Solar Convection Zone, Differential Rotation, Turbulent Viscosity

Scientific paper

We consider the contradiction between the minimum entropy production theorem and the conception of the solar differential rotation being maintained by viscous forces. This difficulty can be overcome if the condition that the highest possible part of the total energy entering the convection zone from below is transformed into the magnetic field energy is fulfilled (Vandakurov, 1999c). We expect that this condition is satisfied if a change in the magnetic field distribution is not followed by a significant change in the rotation structure. Here we use this condition to study allowed rotation laws. In the case of the lower half of the solar convection zone, the rotation latitude dependence obtained appears to be in agreement with that observed on the Sun.
