Energy Spectrum and Flux of Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
Gravity or buoyancy plays an important role in atmospheric and geophysical flows. The flow is destabilized when heavier or colder fluid is on top of a lighter or hotter fluid, often seen in thermal convection (Fig 1(a)). Convection plays an important role in interiors of many planets and stars, and it is one of the mechanisms for the generation of a magnetic field. Conversely, the flow is stabi...
متن کاملA Model of Strongly Forced Wind Waves
A model of surface waves generated on deep water by strong winds is proposed. A two-layer approximation is adopted, in which a shallow turbulent layer overlies the lower, infinitely deep layer. The dynamics of the upper layer, which is directly exposed to the wind, are nonlinear and coupled to the linear dynamics in the deep fluid. The authors demonstrate that in such a system there exist stead...
متن کاملLarge-scale features of rotating forced turbulence.
Large-scale features of a randomly isotropically forced incompressible and unbounded rotating fluid are examined in perturbation theory. At first order in both the random force amplitude and the angular velocity, we find two types of modifications to the fluid equation of motion. The first correction transforms the molecular shear viscosity into a (rotation independent) effective viscosity. The...
متن کاملWaveforms of Langmuir turbulence in inhomogeneous solar wind plasmas
Modulated Langmuir waveforms have been observed by several spacecraft in various regions of the heliosphere, such as the solar wind, the electron foreshock, the magnetotail, or the auroral ionosphere. Many observations revealed the bursty nature of these waves, which appear to be highly modulated, localized, and clumped into spikes with peak amplitudes typically 3 orders of magnitude above the ...
متن کاملJovian Decameter Emissions Observed by the Wind/waves Radioastronomy Experiment
The WAVES radio astronomy experiment aboard the Wind spacecraft covers the frequency range from 1 MHz to 13.8 MHz with spectral resolution six times better than that of the Voyager PRA experiment. By combining Wind/WAVES observations with simultaneous observations made by the Nançay Decametric Array (France) between 10 and 40 MHz, the entire frequency spectrum of the jovian decametric emission ...
