Lagrangian Coherent Structures near a Subtropical Jet Stream
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct Lyapunov exponents and stability results are used to extract and distinguish Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) from a three-dimensional atmospheric dataset generated from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The numerical model is centered at 19.788N, 155.558W, initialized from the Global Forecast System for the case of a subtropical jet stream near Hawaii on 12 December 2002. The LCS are identified that appear to create optical and mechanical turbulence, as evidenced by balloon data collected during a measurement campaign near Hawaii.

Les of a Free Annular Swirling Jet - Dependence of Coherent Structures on a Pilot Jet and the Level of Swirl
The paper presents large eddy simulation of unconfined swirling jets. In the first part, an unconfined annular jet is investigated for swirl numbers ranging from 0 to 1.2. The impact of the swirl on the mean flow and the precessing vortex structures in this flow is analysed. In the second part of the paper, a co-annular pilot jet is introduced near the axis. The investigations show that the add...
متن کاملImproving Cyclone Efficiency by Recycle and Jet Impingement Streams
In this paper a new process is presented for improving efficiency of cyclone de-dusting systems. The cyclone is coupled with a specially designed cylindrical chamber which includes a rotating tube inside it with air impinging nuzzles, drilled on the peripheral surface of the tube. The nuzzles help in pushing and throwing the particles to the outer radius distances during downward flow of du...
متن کاملSession 1pNS: Noise 1pNS5. On near-field acoustical inverse measurements of partially coherent sources
The sources of jet noise have been investigated through the use of near-field array measurements. An understanding of spatial coherence properties in the jet near field leads to insight about source composition. A metric called coherence length is a useful tool for summarizing near-field coherence information. Near-field coherence lengths are presented in this work for a full-scale jet, which s...
متن کاملAn Innovation in Film Cooling of the Gas Turbine Blades Applying an Upstream Jet
A new design concept is introduced to control the near-wall integration between the hot-gas boundary layer and the cooling jets in order to enhance the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness of the gas turbine blades. In this new approach, another film cooling port, having a very low blowing ratio, which prevents formation of the counter-rotating vortex pare, is applied just upstream of the main ...
متن کاملModified Structure Function Model Based on Coherent Structures
In the present study, a modified Structure Function was introduced. In this modified Structure Function model, the coefficient of model was computed dynamically base on the coherent structure in the flow field. The ability of this Modified Structure Function was investigated for complex flow over a square cylinder in free stream and a low aspect ratio cylinder confined in a channel. The Results...
