Eulerian Derivation of the Coriolis Force
In textbooks of geophysical fluid dynamics, the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force in a rotating fluid system are derived by making use of the fluid parcel concept. In contrast to this intuitive derivation to the apparent forces, more rigorous derivation would be useful not only for the pedagogical purpose, but also for the applications to other kinds of rotating geophysical systems rathe...
متن کاملWaves, Coriolis Force and the Dynamo Effect
Dynamo activity caused by waves in a rotating magneto-plasma is investigated. In astrophysical environments such as accretion disks and at sufficiently small spatial scales, the Hall effect is likely to play an important role. It is shown that a combination of the Coriolis force and Hall effect can produce a finite α-effect by generating net helicity in the small scales. The shear/ion-cyclotron...
متن کاملHow Do We Understand the Coriolis Force?
The Coriolis force, named after French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), has traditionally been derived as a matter of coordinate transformation by an essentially kinematic technique. This has had the consequence that its physical significance for processes in the atmosphere, as well for simple mechanical systems, has not been fully comprehended. A study of Coriolis’s own s...
متن کاملOn the treatment of the Coriolis force in computational astrophysics
In numerical computations of astrophysical flows one frequently has to deal with situations which require the use of a corotating coordinate system. Then, in addition to the centrifugal force, the Coriolis terms have to be included in the Navier-Stokes equations. In usual numerical treatments of solving the equations of motion these non-inertial forces are included explicitly as source terms. I...
متن کاملEulerian derivation of the fractional advection-dispersion equation.
A fractional advection-dispersion equation (ADE) is a generalization of the classical ADE in which the second-order derivative is replaced with a fractional-order derivative. In contrast to the classical ADE, the fractional ADE has solutions that resemble the highly skewed and heavy-tailed breakthrough curves observed in field and laboratory studies. These solutions, known as alpha-stable distr...
