THOR-ISO: a global circulation model for exoplanets on an icosahedral grid
THOR-ISO: a global circulation model for exoplanets on an icosahedral grid
In this presentation I will describe the details and first results of our new dynamical code for exoplanet atmospheres. This model is part of the Exoclimes Simulation Platform (ESP), and is a project of the Exoplanet and Exoclimes Group (see www.exoclime.org). The model I will present solves the complex physical and dynamical equations that include fundamental principles of atmospheric fluid dynamics and various idealisations of radiative transfer and dry convection, among others. I will also show the results of the first successful benchmark tests for this model, where we explore the results of the model for Earth-like and Hot-Jupiter like conditions. The analysis of the results from this complex and detailed model, will help us to have a better understanding of the diversity of climates and atmospheric circulations that we expect to find in the multitude of exoplanets already discovered.

Abstract
In this presentation I will describe the details and first results of our new dynamical code for exoplanet atmospheres. This model is part of the Exoclimes Simulation Platform (ESP), and is a project of the Exoplanet and Exoclimes Group (see www.exoclime.org). The model I will present solves the complex physical and dynamical equations that include fundamental principles of atmospheric fluid dynamics and various idealisations of radiative transfer and dry convection, among others. I will also show the results of the first successful benchmark tests for this model, where we explore the results of the model for Earth-like and Hot-Jupiter like conditions. The analysis of the results from this complex and detailed model, will help us to have a better understanding of the diversity of climates and atmospheric circulations that we expect to find in the multitude of exoplanets already discovered.
