Null modes effect in Rossby wave model
The problem of the null-modes existence and some particularities of their interaction with nonlinear vortex-wave-like structures is discussed. We show that the null-modes are fundamental elements of nonlinear wave fields. The conditions under which null-modes can manifest themselves are elucidated. The Rossby-Hasegawa-Mima (RHM) model is used for the illustration of features of nullmodes-waves ...
متن کاملComplex Wavenumber Rossby Wave Ray Tracing
This paper presents a methodology for performing complex wavenumber ray tracing in which both wave trajectory and amplitude are calculated. This ray-tracing framework is first derived using a scaling in which the imaginary wavenumber component is assumed to be much smaller than the real wavenumber component. The approach, based on perturbation methods, is strictly valid when this scaling condit...
متن کاملRossby Wave Instability of Keplerian Accretion Disks
We find a linear instability of non-axisymmetric Rossby waves in a thin nonmagnetized Keplerian disk when there is a local maximum in the radial profile of a key function L(r) ≡ F(r)S2/Γ(r), where F−1 = ẑ · (∇× v)/Σ is the potential vorticity, S = P/ΣΓ is the entropy, Σ is the surface mass density, P is the vertically integrated pressure, and Γ is the adiabatic index. We consider in detail the ...
متن کاملRossby-wave turbulence in a rapidly rotating sphere
We use a quasi-geostrophic numerical model to study the turbulence of rotating flows in a sphere, with realistic Ekman friction and bulk viscous dissipation. The forcing is caused by the destabilization of an axisymmetric Stewartson shear layer, generated by differential rotation, resulting in a forcing at rather large scales. The equilibrium regime is strongly anisotropic and inhomogeneous but...
متن کاملPiston dispersive shock wave problem.
The piston shock problem is a classical result of shock wave theory. In this work, the analogous dispersive shock wave (DSW) problem for a fluid described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation is analyzed. Asymptotic solutions are calculated for a piston (step potential) moving with uniform speed into a dispersive fluid at rest. In contrast to the classical case, there is a bifurcation of shock...
