Buoyant Outflows in the Presence of Complex Topography
نویسنده
چکیده
The overarching goal is to elucidate the complex dynamics of outflows connecting basins through straits. The long term scientific goals are to (a) understand the physical mechanisms that control the exchange between two marginal seas with substantially different water mass characteristics (Aegean Sea and Black Sea) through a complex system of straits (Turkish Straits System); (b) quantify the pathways of the buoyant outflow and evaluate the influence on the dynamics of the receiving coastal areas, as well as on the Mediterranean Sea at large. The long term operational goal is to develop a high resolution numerical model of the Northern Aegean Sea, an island archipelago with intensely complex topography, nested within a coarser Mediterranean Sea model and coupled to a high resolution, unstructured grid model of the Turkish Straits system, which in itself will be coupled to a Black Sea model. The overall study goals are closely linked to several ancillary projects.

Effect of the temperature profile of the accretion disk on the structure of jets and outflows around protostars
Magnetic fields play an important role in creating, driving, and in the evolution of outflows and jets from protostars and accretion disks. On the other hand, the temperature profile of the accretion disks may also affect the structure of the magnetic field and outflows. In this paper, we use the self-similar method in cylindrical coordinates to investigate the effect of the temperature profile...
متن کاملThe Role of Thermal Conduction in Accretion Disks with Outflows
In this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. We study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. We find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. We show that the global structure of an advec...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Saline Gravity Currents Using EARSM and Buoyant k- Turbulence Closures
Gravity currents are very common in nature and may appear in rivers, lakes, oceans, and the atmosphere. They are produced by the buoyant forces interacting between fluids of different densities and may introduce sediments and pollutants into water bodies. In this study, the hydrodynamics and propagation of gravity currents are investigated using WISE (Width Integrated Stratified Environments), ...
متن کاملM odelling outflows, coastal currents and eddies
Several types of flows driven by outflows on the continental shelf are examined mathematically and numerically. Within a quasigeostrophic framework, a variety of vertical structures and topographies are used. Features are explained in terms of potential vorticity conservation. The combined effects of topography and anomalous vorticity of the outflow are studied. First, shelf-like topography is ...
متن کاملEffects of Brownian motion and Thermophoresis on MHD Mixed Convection Stagnation-point Flow of a Nanofluid Toward a Stretching Vertical Sheet in Porous Medium
This article deals with the study of the two-dimensional mixed convection magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow over a stretching vertical plate in porous medium filled with a nanofluid. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis in the presence of thermal radiation. The skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number an...
