Stresses in rotating spheres grown by accretion
Analytical expressions are obtained for the stress field in a sphere that has grown by accretion while rotating about an axis at a speed which may vary during the accretion process. It is assumed that accretion occurs by the adherence of infinitesimal particles that are stress free at the instant of attachment and that the material of the sphere behaves elastically once it has accreted. The res...
متن کاملGravitational instability of slowly rotating isothermal spheres
We discuss the statistical mechanics of rotating self-gravitating systems by allowing properly for the conservation of angular momentum. We study analytically the case of slowly rotating isothermal spheres by expanding the solutions of the Boltzmann-Poisson equation in a series of Legendre polynomials, adapting the procedure introduced by Chandrasekhar (1933) for distorted polytropes. We show h...
متن کاملMagneto-inertial convection in rotating fluid spheres
The onset of convection in the form of magneto-inertial waves in a rotating fluid sphere permeated by a constant axial electric current is studied through a perturbation analysis. Explicit expressions for the dependence of the Rayleigh number on the azimuthal wavenumber are derived in the limit of high thermal diffusivity. Results for the cases of thermally infinitely conducting and of nearly t...
متن کاملSimulation of flow between concentric rotating spheres. Part 1. Steady states
Axisymmetric spherical Couette flow between two concentric differentially rotating spheres is computed numerically as an initial-value problem. The time-independent spherical Couette flows with zero, one and two Taylor vortices computed in our simulations are found to be reflection-symmetric about the equator despite the fact that our pseudospectral numerical method did not impose these propert...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Flow and Heat Transfer Between Two Rotating Vertically Eccentric Spheres with Time- Dependent Angular Velocities
The transient motion and the heat transfer of a viscous incompressible flow contained between two vertically eccentric spheres maintained at different temperatures and rotating about a common axis with different angular velocities is numerically considered when the angular velocities are an arbitrary functions of time. The resulting flow pattern, temperature distribution, and heat transfer char...
