The oscillation and stability of differentially rotating spherical shells: The initial-value problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
An understanding of the oscillations of differentially rotating systems is key to many areas of astrophysics. It is of particular relevance to the emission of gravitational waves from oscillating neutron stars, which are expected to possess significant differential rotation immediately after birth or binary merger. In a previous paper we analysed the normal modes of a simple system exhibiting differential rotation. In this complementary paper we address the initial value problem for the same simple model using both analytical methods and numerical time evolutions. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for dynamical shear instability. We discuss the dynamical behaviour of the continuous spectrum in response to an initial perturbation, and show that certain singular solutions within the continuous spectrum appear physically indistinguishable from the discrete modes outside the continuous spectrum.

The oscillation and stability of differentially rotating spherical shells: The normal-mode problem
An understanding of the dynamics of differentially rotating systems is key to many areas of astrophysics. We investigate the oscillations of a simple system exhibiting differential rotation, and discuss issues concerning the role of corotation points and the emergence of dynamical instabilities. This problem is of particular relevance to the emission of gravitational waves from oscillating neut...
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Shallow Spherical Shells Under External Hydrostatic Pressure
The aim of this paper is to determine the critical buckling load for simply supported thin shallow spherical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to uniform external pressure. A metal-ceramic functionally graded (FG) shell with a power law distribution for volume fraction is considered, where its properties vary gradually through the shell thickness direction from pure me...

The present study aims at investigating stress and deformation behavior of rotating thick truncated conical shells subjected to variable internal pressure. Material prpperties of the shells are graded along the axial direction by Mori-tanaka scheme, which is achieved by elemental gradation of the properties.Governing equations are derived using principle of stsionary total potential (PSTP) and ...
متن کاملContinuation and stability of convective modulated rotating waves in spherical shells.
Modulated rotating waves (MRW), bifurcated from the thermal-Rossby waves that arise at the onset of convection of a fluid contained in a rotating spherical shell, and their stability, are studied. For this purpose, Newton-Krylov continuation techniques are applied. Nonslip boundary conditions, an Ekman number E=10^{-4}, and a low Prandtl number fluid Pr=0.1 in a moderately thick shell of radius...
متن کاملCalculation of Natural Frequencies of Bi-Layered Rotating Functionally Graded Cylindrical Shells
In this paper, an exact analytical solution for free vibration of rotating bi-layered cylindrical shell composed of two independent functionally graded layers was presented. The thicknesses of the shell layers were assumed to be equal and constant. The material properties of the constituents of bi-layered FGM cylindrical shell were graded in the thickness direction of the layers of the shell ac...
