On rotationally driven meridional flows in stars
A quasi-steady-state model of the consequences of rotation on the hydrodynamical structure of a stellar radiative zone is derived by studying in particular the role of centrifugal and baroclinic driving of meridional motions in angular momentum transport. This non-linear problem is solved numerically, assuming axial symmetry of the system, and within some limits it is shown that there exist sim...
متن کاملAlleviating α quenching by solar wind and meridional flows
Aims. We study the ability of magnetic helicity expulsion to alleviate catastrophic α-quenching in mean field dynamos in two– dimensional spherical wedge domains. Methods. Motivated by the physical state of the outer regions of the Sun, we consider α2Ω mean field models with a dynamical α quenching. We include two mechanisms which have the potential to facilitate helicity expulsion, namely adve...
متن کاملBicritical instabilities in pressure driven helicoidal flows
This contribution presents new phenomena regarding the stability of pressure driven flows within annular pipes. The fluid is advected downstream due to an axial pressure gradient but also subjected to centrifugal mechanisms due to the independent rotation of the coaxial cylinders that contain it. Coexistence of upstream and downstream spiral secondary flows is observed in the co-rotating regime...
متن کاملThe predictability of large-scale wind-driven flows
The singular values associated with optimally growing perturbations to stationary and time-dependent solutions for the general circulation in an ocean basin provide a measure of the rate at which solutions with nearby initial conditions begin to diverge, and hence, a measure of the predictability of the flow. In this paper, the singular vectors and singular values of stationary and evolving exa...
متن کاملMacroplastics at sea around Antarctica.
UNLABELLED More so than at any previous time, there is a heightened awareness of the amount of plastic in the environment, it's spread to even remote localities and the multiple influences of this on organisms. In the austral summer of 2007/08 Greenpeace and British Antarctic Survey ships (MV Esperanza and RRS James Clark Ross respectively) conducted the first co-ordinated joint marine debris s...
