Planetary-Scale Vortical Structures in the Conducting Atmosphere
The problem of generation and existence of large-scale vortices in the ionosphere is analyzed in this paper. Some exact solutions of the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations have been found and new invariants have been constructed allowing to descover mechanisms of generation of large-scale vortices and planetary waves in the electroconducting atmosphere under the action of non-conservative Cor...
متن کاملLarge-scale instability in a sheared nonhelical turbulence: Formation of vortical structures.
We study a large-scale instability in a sheared nonhelical turbulence that causes generation of large-scale vorticity. Three types of the background large-scale flows are considered, i.e., the Couette and Poiseuille flows in a small-scale homogeneous turbulence, and the "log-linear" velocity shear in an inhomogeneous turbulence. It is known that laminar plane Couette flow and antisymmetric mode...
متن کاملStructures in the outer solar atmosphere
The structure and dynamics of the outer solar atmosphere are reviewed with emphasis on the role played by the magnetic field. Contemporary observations that focus on high resolution imaging over a range of temperatures, as well as UV, EUV and hard X-ray spectroscopy, demonstrate the presence of a vast range of temporal and spatial scales, mass motions, and particle energies present. By focussin...
متن کاملStationary Vortical Structures in Electrostatic Drift Wave Turbulence
The conditions of generation of vortical flows in fusion plasma are reviewed with particular interest for the role of the small scale vortices in the intermittency events of the internal transport barriers (ITB). Exact solutions are provided for stationary states.
متن کاملInstabilities and the Formation of Small-Scale Structures in Planetary Nebulae
Recent observations have revealed the presence of a variety of small-scale “micro-structures” in Planetary Nebulae images. I discuss numerical hydrodynamics models of planetaries and outline the formation and growth of instabilities that may be seen in these models. It is possible that these may be the forerunners of some of the observed small-scale structures.
