Vortex dynamics associated with the collision of a sphere with a wall
For moderate Reynolds numbers, a sphere striking a wall in the normal direction leads to the trailing recirculating wake threading over the sphere and developing into a complex vortex ring system as it interacts with the wall. The primary vortex ring, which consists of vorticity from the wake, persists and convects slowly outwards away from the sphere due to the motion induced from its image. T...
متن کاملDynamics of Perturbed Relative Equilibria of Point Vortices on the Sphere or Plane
The system of point vortices on the sphere is a Hamiltonian system with symmetry SO(3), and there are stable relative equilibria of four point vortices, where three identical point vortices form an equilateral triangle circling a central vortex. These relative equilibria have zero (nongeneric) momentum and form a family that extends to arbitrarily small diameters. Using the energy-momentum meth...
متن کاملWave and vortex dynamics on the surface of a sphere
Motivated by the observed potential vorticity structure of the stratospheric polar vortex, we study the dynamics of linear and nonlinear waves on a zonal vorticity interface in a two-dimensional barotropic flow on the surface of a sphere (interfacial Rossby waves). After reviewing the linear problem, we determine, with the help of an iterative scheme, the shapes of steadily propagating nonlinea...
متن کاملDiscrete multivortex solitons.
We introduce discrete multivortex solitons in a ring of nonlinear oscillators coupled to a central site. Regular clusters of discrete vortices appear as a result of mode collisions, and we show that their stability is determined by global symmetries rather than the stability of constituent vortices. Stable multivortex solitons support complex vortex dynamics including charge flipping and spiral...
متن کاملparticle–wall collisions in a viscous fluid
The dynamics of particle–particle collisions and the bouncing motion of a particle colliding with a wall in a viscous fluid is numerically investigated. The dependence of the effective coefficient of restitution on the Stokes number and surface roughness is analysed. A distributed Lagrange multiplier-based computational method in a solid–fluid system is developed and an efficient method for pre...
