[mesa-users] Convective Turnover Time

[Kenny Van]

Hi,

I was looking into the additional effects that turnover time would have on
magnetic braking in a system. While looking through MESA I noticed that the
profile output appears to contain the required parameters to calculate the
turnover time at various points in the mesh. The profile output can be set
to output the convective velocity, the radius, and the dr of each cell.

I was looking through the binary section of MESA and there doesn't appear
to be any convective velocity term. Is it possible to have the
binary_jdot.f90 code be able to pull values from the single star profile
calculations? I'm slowly trying to figure out how to approach this addon to
the magnetic braking but any advice would greatly help.

Thanks
