Dynamics of the Sharp Edges of Broad Planetary Rings
The following describes a model of a broad planetary ring whose sharp edge is confined by a satellite’s m Lindblad resonance (LR). This model uses the streamline formalism of Borderies et al. (1982, 1985) to calculate the ring’s internal forces, namely, ring gravity, pressure, and viscosity. The model also allows for the possibility of a drag force that can affect small ring particles directly,...
متن کاملDense planetary rings and the viscous overstability
This paper examines the onset of the viscous overstability in dense particulate rings. First, we formulate a dense gas kinetic theory that is applicable to the Saturnian system. Our model is essentially that of Araki and Tremaine (1986), which we show can be both simplified and generalised. Second, we put this model to work computing the equilibrium properties of dense planetary rings, which we...
متن کاملSynchronization mechanism of sharp edges in rings of Saturn
We propose a new mechanism which explains the existence of enormously sharp edges in the rings of Saturn. This mechanism is based on the synchronization phenomenon due to which the epicycle rotational phases of particles in the ring, under certain conditions, become synchronized with the phase of external satellite, e.g. with the phase of Mimas in the case of the outer B ring edge. This synchro...
متن کاملN - body Simulations with Cohesion in Dense Planetary Rings
Title of Dissertation: N-body Simulations with Cohesion in Dense Planetary Rings Randall Patrick Perrine, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor Derek C. Richardson Department of Astronomy This dissertation is primarily focused on exploring whether weak cohesion among icy particles in Saturn’s dense rings is consistent with observations—and if so, what limits can be plac...
متن کاملPreserving sharp edges in geometry images
A geometry image offers a simple and compact way of encoding the geometry of a surface and its implicit connectivity in an image-like data structure. It has been shown to be useful in multiple applications because of its suitability for efficient hardware rendering, level of detail, filtering, etc. Most existing algorithms generate geometry images by parameterizing the surface onto a domain, an...
