Unbalanced instabilities of rapidly rotating stratified shear flows
The linear stability of a rotating, stratified, inviscid horizontal plane Couette flow in a channel is studied in the limit of strong rotation and stratification. Two dimensionless parameters characterize the flow: the Rossby number ǫ, defined as the ratio of the shear to the Coriolis frequency and assumed small, and the ratio s of the Coriolis frequency to the buoyancy frequency, assumed to sa...
متن کاملDecaying grid turbulence in a rotating stratified fluid
Rotating grid turbulence experiments have been carried out in a stably stratified fluid for relatively large Reynolds numbers (mesh Reynolds numbers up to 18 000). Under the combined effects of rotation and stratification the flow degenerates into quasihorizontal motions. This regime is investigated using a scanning imaging velocimetry technique which provides time-resolved velocity fields in a...
متن کاملSecularly growing oscillations in a stratified rotating fluid
A simple exact solution of the Boussinesq equations of motion, thermal energy, and mass conservation is obtained for an oscillatory flow regime in a stably stratified rotating fluid. The flow is unbounded and characterized by velocity gradients that vary with time but are spatially uniform—the basic state of Craik-Criminale flows. The solution describes an oscillatory convergent-divergent flow ...
متن کاملCurvature and Acoustic Instabilities in Rotating Fluid Disks
The stability of a rotating fluid disk to the formation of spiral arms is studied in the tightwinding approximation in the linear regime. The dispersion relation for spirals that was derived by Bertin et al. is shown to contain a new, acoustic instability beyond the Lindblad resonances that depends only on pressure and rotation. In this regime, pressure and gravity exchange roles as drivers and...
