Convective and absolute instabilities in the boundary layer over rotating spheres with surface mass flux and incident axial flow
We consider the effect of surface mass flux and forced axial flow on the boundary-layer flows over rotating spheres, with a view to establishing flow-control mechanisms for rotating flows of engineering significance. A theoretical study is presented which considers the onset of convective instability modes (both stationary and travelling relative to the rotating surface) and local absolute inst...
متن کاملThe Mass Budget of Merging Quasars
Two spectacular results emerging from recent studies of nearby dead quasars and distant active quasars are (i) the existence of tight relations between the masses of black holes (BHs) and the properties of their host galaxies (spheroid luminosity or velocity dispersion, galaxy mass), and (ii) a consistency between the local mass density in BHs and that expected by summing up the light received ...
متن کاملThe Galactic disk mass - budget : II . Brown
In this paper, we extend the calculations conducted previously in the stellar regime (Chabrier, 2001) to determine the brown dwarf initial mass function in the Galactic disk. We perform Monte Carlo calculations taking into account the brown dwarf formation rate, spatial distribution and binary fraction. Comparison with existing surveys seems to exclude a power-law mass function as steep as the ...
متن کاملA probabilistic bulk model of coupled mixed layer and convection. Part II: Shallow convection case
The probabilistic bulk convection model (PBCM) developed in a companion paper is here extended to shallow nonprecipitating convection. The PBCMunifies the clear-sky and shallow convection boundary layer regimes by obtaining mixed-layer growth, cloud fraction, and convective inhibition from a single parameterization based on physical principles. The evolution of the shallow convection PBCM is ba...
