Dynamic Transitions of Quasi-geostrophic Channel Flow
The main aim of this paper is to study the dynamic transitions in flows described by the two-dimensional, barotropic vorticity equation in a periodic zonal channel. In [Z.-M. Chen et al., SIAM J. Appl. Math., 64 (2003), pp. 343–368], the existence of a Hopf bifurcation in this model as the Reynolds number crosses a critical value was proven. In this paper, we extend the results in [Z.-M. Chen e...
متن کاملHopf Bifurcation in Quasi-geostrophic Channel Flow
In this article, we conduct a rigorous stability and bifurcation analysis for a highly idealized model of planetary-scale, atmospheric and oceanic flows. The model is governed by the twodimensional, quasi-geostrophic equation for the conservation of vorticity in an East–West oriented, periodic channel. The main result is the existence of Hopf bifurcation of the flow as the Reynolds number cross...
متن کاملAvailable potential vorticity and wave-averaged quasi-geostrophic flow
We derive a wave-averaged potential vorticity equation describing the evolution of strongly stratified, rapidly rotating quasi-geostrophic (QG) flow in a field of inertia-gravity internal waves. The derivation relies on a multiple-time-scale asymptotic expansion of the Eulerian Boussinesq equations. Our result confirms and extends the theory of Bühler & McIntyre (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 354, 1998,...
متن کاملSurface quasi-geostrophic dynamics
The dynamics of quasi-geostrophic flow with uniform potential vorticity reduces to the evolution of buoyancy, or potential temperature, on horizontal boundaries. There is a formal resemblance to two-dimensional flow, with surface temperature playing the role of vorticity, but a different relationship between the flow and the advected scalar creates several distinctive features. A series of exam...
متن کاملAveraging Principle for Quasi - Geostrophic
In this paper, the averaging principle for quasi-geostrophic motions with rapidly oscillating forcing is proved, both on nite but large time intervals and on the entire time axis. This includes comparison estimate, stability estimate, and convergence result between quasi-geostrophic motions and its averaged motions. Furthermore, the existence of almost periodic quasi-geostrophic motions and att...
