Effects of anisotropy in geostrophic turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Boussinesq model of convection in a flat layer with heating from below is considered. We analyze the effects of anisotropy caused by rapid rotation in physical and wave spaces and demonstrate the suppression of energy transfer by rotation. We also examine the structure of the wave triangle in nonlinear interaction. The range of parameters is adapted to the models of convection in the geodynamo.

Quasi - geostrophic turbulence and generalized scale invariance , a theoretical reply
Lindborg et al. (2010) claim that the apparent spectrum power law E(k) ≈ k−3 on scales ≥ 600 km obtained with the help of commercial jetliner trajectory deviations (GASP and Mozaic databases) could not be brought into question (Lovejoy et al., 2009a), because this spectrum corresponds to “a well known theory of quasi-geostrophic turbulence developed by Charney (1971)”. Lindborg et al. (2010) al...
متن کاملInternal combustion engines in cylinder flow simulation improvement using nonlinear k-ε turbulence models
The purpose of this paper is to studying nonlinear k-ε turbulence models and its advantages in internal combustion engines, since the standard k-ε model is incapable of representing the anisotropy of turbulence intensities and fails to express the Reynolds stresses adequately in rotating flows. Therefore, this model is not only incapable of expressing the anisotropy of turbulence in an engine c...
متن کاملGeostrophic turbulence near rapid changes in stratification
Geostrophic turbulence near horizontal surfaces on which the vertical velocity vanishes exhibits a forward cascade of buoyancy variance, characterized by a shallow energy spectrum, secondary roll-up of filaments, and a fat-tailed vorticity probability distribution. Such surfaces occur at rigid boundaries, but also at discontinuous jumps in stratification. Here we relax this mathematical idealiz...
متن کاملToward a turbulence constitutive relation for rotating ows
In rapidly rotating turbulent ows the largest scales of the motion are in approximate geostrophic balance. Single-point turbulence closures, in general, cannot attain a geostrophic balance. This article addresses and resolves the possibility of constitutive relation procedures for single-point second order closures for a speciic class of rotating or stratiied ows. Physical situations in which t...
متن کاملModeling a turbulence effect in formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
A simple model to determine a turbulence effect in formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is suggested. The model is founded on the theory of rotationally anisotropic turbulence and is set up as a generalization of the geostrophic description of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). It predicts the turbulence effect as an additive correction to the flow velocity predicted by th...
