Experimental study of libration-driven zonal flows in non-axisymmetric containers
Orbital dynamics that lead to longitudinal libration of celestial bodies also result in an elliptically deformed equatorial core-mantle boundary. The non-axisymmetry of the boundary leads to a topographic coupling between the assumed rigid mantle and the underlying low viscosity fluid. The present experimental study investigates the effect of non axisymmetric boundaries on the zonal flow driven...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked adiabatic accretion flows
We investigate the linear stability of a shocked accretion flow onto a black hole in the adiabatic limit. Our linear analyses and numerical calculations show that, despite the post-shock deceleration, the shock is generally unstable to non-axisymmetric perturbations. The simulation results of Molteni, Tóth & Kuznetsov can be well explained by our linear eigenmodes. The mechanism of this instabi...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric instabilities in shocked accretion flows with differential rotation
The linear stability of a shocked isothermal accretion flow onto a black hole is investigated in the inviscid limit. The outer shock solution, which was previously found to be stable with respect to axisymmetric perturbations, is, however, generally unstable to non-axisymmetric ones. Eigenmodes and growth rates are obtained by numerical integration of the linearized equations. The mechanism of ...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric Flows on Hot Jupiters with Oblique Magnetic Fields
Giant planets that reside in close proximity to their host stars are subject to extreme irradiation, which gives rise to thermal ionization of trace Alkali metals in their atmospheres. On objects where the atmospheric electrical conductivity is substantial, the global circulation couples to the background magnetic field, inducing supplementary fields and altering the nature of the flow. To date...
متن کاملInterface Tracking for Axisymmetric Flows
A front tracking method for inviscid gas dynamics is presented. The key constructions and algorithms used in the code are described and the interrelations between shock capturing, interface dynamics, computational geometry, grid construction, and parallelism are discussed for the code as a whole. Validation is carried out by comparing the single mode bubble velocity for Rayleigh–Taylor instabil...
