Formation and stability of the solar tachocline in MHD simulations
The solar tachocline is a thin transition layer between the solar radiative zone rotating uniformly and the solar convection zone, which has a mainly latitudinal differential rotation profile. This layer has a thickness of less than $0.05R_{\sun}$ and is subject to extreme radial as well as …

The solar tachocline: a self-consistent model of magnetic confinement
… dissertation we consider the dynamics of the solar interior, with particular focus on angular momentum balance and magnetic field confinement within the tachocline. In Part I we review current knowledge of the Sun's rotation. We summarise the main mechanisms by which angular momentum is …

Shear flow instabilities in stratified magnetohydrodynamics
… stably-stratified region in the Sun known as the tachocline, wherein the turbulent dynamics are believed to be driven by shear flow instabilities. In this thesis we investigate how stable stratification and magnetic fields affect instabilities of a Kolmogorov shear flow in different parameter …
