Eulerian Derivation of the Coriolis Force
In textbooks of geophysical fluid dynamics, the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force in a rotating fluid system are derived by making use of the fluid parcel concept. In contrast to this intuitive derivation to the apparent forces, more rigorous derivation would be useful not only for the pedagogical purpose, but also for the applications to other kinds of rotating geophysical systems rathe...
متن کاملWaves, Coriolis Force and the Dynamo Effect
Dynamo activity caused by waves in a rotating magneto-plasma is investigated. In astrophysical environments such as accretion disks and at sufficiently small spatial scales, the Hall effect is likely to play an important role. It is shown that a combination of the Coriolis force and Hall effect can produce a finite α-effect by generating net helicity in the small scales. The shear/ion-cyclotron...
متن کاملHow Do We Understand the Coriolis Force?
The Coriolis force, named after French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), has traditionally been derived as a matter of coordinate transformation by an essentially kinematic technique. This has had the consequence that its physical significance for processes in the atmosphere, as well for simple mechanical systems, has not been fully comprehended. A study of Coriolis’s own s...
متن کاملUnderstanding inertial instability on the f-plane with complete Coriolis force
We present analytical results allowing to understand the influence of usually neglected vertical component of the Coriolis force and of the vertical velocity contribution in its horizontal component upon wave-trapping in shear flows in stratified fluid, and upon related inertial instability.
متن کاملTopHat: Supporting Experiments through Measurement Infrastructure Federation
Researchers use the PlanetLab testbed for its ability to host experimental applications in realistic conditions over the public besteffort internet. Such applications form overlays whose performance is affected by the underlying topology and its evolution. While several topology information services have been proposed for PlanetLab, the TopHat system that we describe here fills a special niche....
