Abstract

The theoretical power spectrum of solar velocity field and flux variation is obtained with amplitudes of the unstable convective eigenmodes determined by linearly superposing these modes to yield the model convective flux profile. The numerical results are compared with the observed spectrum of solar convection and the technique is applied to other stars.
