Flow Development of a Sheared Collisional Granular Flow
We analyze the development of a collisional granular flow without gravitational accelerations in a shear cell shaped as a racetrack. Variations of the cross-sectional averaged solid volume fraction, mean velocity and fluctuation energy along the straight region of the cell are captured by an integral technique similar to the treatment of boundary layers. The results compare well with data from ...
متن کاملMagnetic instability in a sheared azimuthal flow
We study the magneto-rotational instability of an incompressible flow which rotates with angular velocity Ω(r) = a + b/r where r is the radius and a and b are constants. We find that an applied magnetic field destabilises the flow, in agreement with the results of Rüdiger & Zhang (2001). We extend the investigation in the region of parameter space which is Rayleigh stable. We also study the ins...
متن کاملExtension of an orographic - drag parametrization scheme to incorporate orographic anisotropy and flow blocking
The Kim–Arakawa orographic gravity-wave drag parametrization scheme, which is a component of the US Navy’s NOGAPS ALPHA (Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System, Advanced-Level Physics and High Altitude), is extended to include the effects of orographic anisotropy and low-level flow blocking. The algorithms to calculate the orographic statistics needed for the parametrization are ...
متن کاملEffect of sheared flow on magnetic islands
The effect of sheared flow on a magnetic island is examined. In contrast to the density and temperature gradients which are flattened for sufficiently wide islands, it is found that the velocity gradient persists inside the separatrix whenever the constant-! approximation is satisfied. It follows that velocity shear has a negligible effect on island amplitude in that approximation. The effect o...
متن کاملSheared-flow Generalization of the Harris Sheet
A novel, exact class of solutions to the Vlasov–Maxwell system, with self– generated magnetic fields and nonuniform plasma flows, are constructed. It is shown that a gyrotropic distribution function (independent of gyrophase) does not allow equilibrium shear flow; introduction of agyrotropy is essential for the maintenance of spatially nonuniform velocity fields. The new self–consistent sheared...
