Neutron star oceans: Instability, mixing, and heat transport.

URPIN V.

Abstract (from CDS):

Stability of the ocean of magnetic neutron stars is considered. We argued that the ocean is unstable if the temperature varies along the surface. The instability grows on a time scale ∼0.1-100s depending on the lengthscale of perturbations and generates a weak turbulence. Turbulence can be responsible for mixing between the surface and deep ocean layers and can enhance heat transport in the surface region.
