A 3D spectral anelastic hydrodynamic code for shearing, stratified flows
We have developed a three-dimensional (3D) spectral hydrodynamic code to study vortex dynamics in rotating, shearing, stratified systems (e.g., the atmosphere of gas giant planets, protoplanetary disks around newly forming protostars). The timeindependent background state is stably stratified in the vertical direction and has a unidirectional linear shear flow aligned with one horizontal axis. ...
متن کاملDensity Fluctuation Spectra in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
It is shown that within the framework of nearly incompressible magnetohydrodynamics, but not within that of neutral-fluid hydrodynamics, a k -5/3 inertial-range wave number density fluctuation spectrum is to be expected at the same times that k -5/3 kinetic energy and magnetic energy cascade spectra are present. A previous discrepancy between theory and observation in the local interstellar med...
متن کاملTurbulence transition and internal wave generation in density stratified jets
The nonlinear evolution of an unstable symmetric jet in incompressible, density stratified fluid is simulated numerically. When N2 is constant and near zero, like-signed vortices pair by way of an instability of the mean Ilow to a subharmonic disturbance with wavelength twice that of the most unstable mode of linear theory. For small but finite and constant values of N2, however, the individual...
متن کاملDouble Resonances and Spectral Scaling in the Weak Turbulence Theory of Rotating and Stratified Turbulence
In rotating turbulence, stably stratified turbulence, and in rotating stratified turbulence, heuristic arguments concerning the turbulent time scale suggest that the inertial range energy spectrum scales as k. From the viewpoint of weak turbulence theory, there are three possibilities which might invalidate these arguments: four-wave interactions could dominate three-wave interactions leading t...
متن کاملDensity fluctuations in strongly stratified two-dimensional turbulence.
We present a study of density fluctuations in two-dimensional soap-film convection. When the temperature difference (DeltaT) imposed vertically along the film is smaller than a critical value (DeltaT(C) approximately 48 K), the convective motion is in a strongly stratified state and the frequency power spectrum of density fluctuations shows a Bolgiano-like scaling f(-7/5) in the buoyancy subran...
