Abstract: | A study is made of the convection in a shell of matter in a star in a binary Keplerian system. Because the axial rotation and orbital revolution are not synchronous, there is a periodic modulation of the gravity field of the star by tidal forces. It is shown that under certain conditions one can have an auto-oscillatory regime in which the mean intensity of the oscillatory convective motions also varies periodically with the time.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 149–155, March–April, 1981. |
