Drift wave-zonal flow dynamics
A remarkable phenomenon in turbulent flows is the spontaneous emergence of coherent large spatial scale zonal jets. Geophysical examples of this phenomenon include the Jovian banded winds and the Earth’s polar front jet. In this work a comprehensive theory for the interaction of jets with turbulence, Stochastic Structural Stability Theory, is applied to the problem of understanding the formatio...
متن کاملLagrangian dynamics of drift-wave turbulence
The statistical properties of Lagrangian particle transport are investigated in dissipative drift-wave turbulence modelled by the Hasegawa–Wakatani system. By varying the adiabaticity parameter c, the flow regime can be modified from a hydrodynamic limit for c = 0 to a geostrophic limit for c → ∞. For c of order unity the quasi-adiabatic regime is obtained, which might be relevant to describe t...
متن کاملVorticity dynamics, drift wave turbulence, and zonal flows
This paper surveys the basic ideas and results on fundamental models of drift wave turbulence, the formation of zonal flows, shear suppression of turbulence and transport, coupled drift wave and zonal flow dynamics and application to transport bifurcations and transitions. Application to vortex dynamics and zonal flow phenomena in EMHD systems are discussed, as well. These are relevant to aspec...
متن کاملDynamics of Zonal Flows and Self-regulating Drift-wave Turbulence
We present a theory of zonal flow drift wave dynamics. Zonal flows are generated by modulational instability of a drift wave spectrum, and are damped by collisions. Drift waves undergo random shearing-induced refraction, resulting in increased mean square radial wavenumber. Drift waves and zonal flows together form a simple dynamical system, which has a single stable fixed point. In this state,...
متن کاملResistive drift-wave turbulence
Two-dimensional resistive drift-wave turbulence is studied by high-resolution numerical simulations in the Iimit of small viscosity. Density and potential fluctuations are cross-coupled by resistive dissipation, proportional to the adiabaticity parameter, F, which determines the character of the system: adiabatic (ml) or hydrodynamic (Z% 1). Various cases are computed for 0. I ~%<5. Energy spec...
