Rieutord Directeur de thèseVelocity fields measurements of turbulent flows in the solar photosphere reveal three distinct horizontal scales: granulation (1 000 km), mesogranulation (7 000 km) and supergranulation (30 000 km). Granulation is known to result from radiative cooling of hot ascending gas close to the surface, but the origin of mesogranulation and supergranulation remains largely unknown. Several convection models were developed in the course of this PhD research in order to investigate possible formation mechanisms for these large-scale flows. A theoretical study of the convective instabilit...
