Tidal excitation of hydromagnetic waves and their damping in the Earth
We examine the possibility that the Earth’s outer core, as a tidally distorted fluid-filled rotating spheroid, may be the seat of an elliptical instability. The instability mechanism is described within the framework of a simple Earth-like model. The preferred forms of wave disturbance are explored and a likely growth rate supremum deduced. Estimates are made of the Ohmic and viscous decay rate...
متن کاملThe Rotation of Hydromagnetic Waves by the Ionosphere
We show that the Doppler shift on whistler mode signals from VLF transmitters may be used to infer the magnetic field of an hydromagnetic wave above the ionosphere in the magnetosphere. This inferred field can then be compared with that measured on the ground. We examine one event in detail and show the data imply that a it/2 rotation of the orientation of the wave ellipse has occurred between ...
متن کاملEffects of shear and bulk viscosity on head-on collision of localized waves in high density compact stars
Head on collision of localized waves in cold and dense hadronic matter with and without shear and bulk viscosities is investigated. Non-relativistic dynamics of propagating waves is studied using the hydrodynamics description of the system and suitable equation of state. It will be shown that the localized waves are described by solutions of the Burgers equation. Simulations show that the propa...
متن کاملThe Structure of Hydromagnetic Shock Waves
Es werden Wellen in einem quasi-neutralen Gas untersucht, das Ionen und Elektronen enthält und genügend kalt ist, so daß die thermischen Bewegungen vernachlässigt werden können. Außerdem werden Zusammenstöße zwischen den Teilchen vernachlässigt, jedoch nicht die Trägheitseffekte des elektrischen Stromes. Die nicht-linearen Gleichungen für unendlich ausgedehnte, ebene Kompressionswellen, die sic...
متن کاملRadiative Bulk Viscosity
Viscous resistance to changes in the volume of a gas arises when different degrees of freedom have different relaxation times. Collisions tend to oppose the resulting departures from equilibrium and, in so doing, generate entropy. Even for a classical gas of hard spheres, when the mean free paths or mean flight times of constituent particles are long, we find a nonvanishing bulk viscosity. Here...
