Spin-up in a semicircular cylinder

چکیده
We report experimental and theoretical results on how a fluid (homogeneous or continuously stratified) is spun up in closed, semicircular cylinder. Experiments were performed for Rossby numbers $Ro=0.02$ , 0.2 1 (the latter corresponding to the limiting case of spin-up from rest), with Ekman number $E=O({10^{-5}})$ Burger ( $S$ ) varied between 0 10. There are two key processes: pumping that drives core flow; formation breakdown vertical-wall boundary layers, respective characteristic time scales $t\sim E^{-1/2}$ $Ro^{-1}$ . When these comparable, observed flow dominated by gradual initial anticyclone forms when rotation rate increased, which fills container's interior; vorticity generated adjacent vertical walls throughout remains confined neighbourhood corners. Conversely, ${E^{1/2}/Ro\ll 1}$ layers rapidly break down, resulting cyclonic vortices corners, grow interact anticyclone, leading three-cell pattern. For our description generally agrees well experiments, computation eruption times unsteady consistent observations both $Ro=0.2$

Torsion in Microstructure Hollow Thick-Walled Circular Cylinder Made up of Orthotropic Material
In this paper, a numerical solution has been developed for hollow circular cylinders made up of orthotropic material which is subjected to twist using micro polar theory. The effect of twisting moment and material internal length on hollow thick-walled circular cylinder made up of micro polar orthotropic material is investigated. Finite difference method has been used to exhibit the influence o...

At todaychr('39')s universities, we are witnessing the emergence of startup companies by the startup teams by student and academic teams; unfortunately, most startups face barriers to success. On the one hand, one of the new topics entering the fourth-generation universities and can be a good target for the future of the startups; the existence of academic spin-offs, centered around scholars...
متن کاملSpin-up and spin-down in a half cone: A pathological situation or not?
The spin-up and spin-down of a fluid in a rapidly-rotating, fluid-filled, closed half cone is studied both numerically and experimentally. This unusual set up is of interest because it represents a pathological case for the classical linear theory of Greenspan & Howard (J. Fluid Mech., 17, 385, 1963) since there are no closed geostrophic contours nor a denumerable set of inertial waves (even a ...
متن کاملVestibulo-Ocular Reflex Abnormalities in Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Pilot Study
Introduction: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), involving the semicircular canals, is one of the most common diseases of the inner ear. The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a new test that examines the function of the canals. This study aimed to investigate the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain, gain asymmetry and saccades after stimulating all six canals in patients definitively d...
