Large scale turbulence structures in the Ekman boundary layer
The Ekman boundary layer (EBL) is a non-stratifi ed turbulent layer of fl uid in a rotated frame of reference. The EBL comprises two sub-layers, namely, the surface sub-layer, where small scale well-developed turbulence dominates, and the core sub-layer, where large scale self-organized turbulence dominates. This study reports self-organization of large scale turbulence in the EBL as simulated ...
متن کاملStability of some turbulent vertical models for the ocean mixing boundary layer
We consider four turbulent models to simulate the boundary mixing layer of the ocean. We show the existence of solutions to these models in the steady-state case then we study the mathematical stability of these solutions. Key-words : oceanography, turbulence models, stability, partial differential equations MSC classification : 35J60, 35K55, 76E20, 76F40
متن کاملEkman layer damping of r-modes revisited
We investigate the damping of neutron star r-modes due to the presence of a viscous boundary (Ekman) layer at the interface between the crust and the core. Our study is motivated by the possibility that the gravitational-wave driven instability of the inertial r-modes may become active in rapidly spinning neutron stars, eg. in low-mass X-ray binaries, and the fact that a viscous Ekman layer at ...
متن کاملNonlinear stability of Ekman boundary layers
Consider the initial value problem for the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with rotation in the half-space R+ subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions as well as the Ekman spiral which is a stationary solution to the above equations. It is proved that the Ekman spiral is nonlinearly stable with respect to L2-perturbations provided the corresponding Reynolds number is small enough. Mor...
متن کاملFrom the Southern Ocean to the North Atlantic in the Ekman Layer?
JANUARY 2004 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | T he idea that the southern winds might be important to the rate of the deep water formation in the North Atlantic was first put forward by Toggweiler and Samuels (1995). They analyzed the results of a global circulation model (GCM) and showed that the rate of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation increased when the strength of the southern wi...
