Simulations of the onset and dynamical evolution of inertial waves in solar/stellar interior

This upload provides a set of numerical simulation videos illustrating the excitation and propagation of inertial waves in rotating stellar interiors. The videos present the time evolution of the velocity field in a rotating spherical shell, showing the development of polar vortices, the excitation of sectoral and tesseral modes, and their interaction with large-scale differential rotation. Each video corresponds to a simulation with a specific rotational setup, including both uniformly rotating cases (with a fixed rotation rate) and differentially rotating cases, enabling a qualitative comparison of how rotation and shear influence the morphology, frequency, and spatial distribution of the modes.

Description of each video:
SM4_secm4.mp4  - Sectoral-mode perturbation (Model SM4)

T2L5_m2l5.mp4 - Tesseral-mode perturbation (Model T2L5)

T2L8_m2l8.mp4 - Tesseral-mode perturbation (Model T2L8)

DR10_shear_10.mp4 - Simulation with imposed shear (Model DR10)

DR20_shear_20.mp4 - Simulation with imposed shear (Model DR20)

DR35_shear_35.mp4 - Simulation with imposed shear (Model DR35)

DR40_shear_40.mp4 - Simulation with imposed shear (Model DR40)
