Nonlinear Radiating Instability of a Barotropic Eastern Boundary Current
Linear and nonlinear radiating instabilities of an eastern boundary current are studied using a barotropic quasigeostrophic model in an idealized meridional channel. The eastern boundary current is meridionally uniform and produces unstable modes in which long waves are most able to radiate. These long radiating modes are easily suppressed by friction because of their small growth rates. Howeve...
متن کاملAgeostrophic, anticyclonic instability of a geostrophic, barotropic boundary current
After having previously demonstrated the occurrence of ageostrophic, anticyclonic instability (AAI) for several other steady flows, in this paper we further test the hypothesis that rotating, stably stratified, shear flows are generally subject to AAI at finite Rossby (Ro) and Froude (Fr) numbers by calculating the inviscid, incompressible normal modes of a geostrophic, barotropic boundary curr...
متن کاملMeridional displacement of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Observed long-term warming trends in the Southern Ocean have been interpreted as a sign of increased poleward eddy heat transport or of a poleward displacement of the entire Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) frontal system. The two-decade-long record from satellite altimetry is an important source of information for evaluating the mechanisms governing these trends. While several recent studie...
متن کاملInvestigation on Instability of Rayleigh-Benard Convection Using Lattice Boltzmann Method with a Modified Boundary Condition
In this study, the effects of Prandtl number on the primary and secondary instability of the Rayleigh-Benard convection problem has been investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Two different cases as Pr=5.8 and 0.7 representing the fluid in liquid and gas conditions are examined. A body forces scheme of the lattice Boltzmann method was presented. Two types of boundary conditions in the...
متن کاملTuring instability in a boundary-fed system
The formation of localized structures in the chlorine dioxide-idodine-malonic acid ~CDIMA! reactiondiffusion system is investigated numerically using a realistic model of this system. We analyze the onedimensional patterns formed along the gradients imposed by boundary feeds, and study their linear stability to symmetry-breaking perturbations ~Turing instability! in the plane transverse to thes...
