The Influence of Stratification on the Inertial Recirculation
نویسنده
چکیده
A two-layer quasigeostrophic model is used to investigate the influence of stratification on the inertial recirculation in a full basin model. It is found that the barotropic transport of the inertial recirculation is intensified significantly through barotropic–baroclinic interactions in the presence of a shallow thermocline or a strong stratification. Weakly nonlinear theories and numerical experiments show that a strong baroclinic–barotropic interaction intensifies the advection of potential vorticity anomaly toward the inertial recirculation and therefore forces a stronger recirculation. Furthermore, from the potential vorticity point of view, our model recirculations belong to the generalized ‘‘modonlike’’ recirculation (with dQ/dc , 0). The increased zonal penetration of recirculation cells with stratification is not caused by the internal dynamics of the recirculation cells. Instead, it is caused by the increased advection of potential vorticity anomaly—an external forcing to the recirculation cells.

Studying the Effect of Reformer Gas and Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Engine Operation
Combustion in homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is controlled auto ignition of well-mixed fuel, air and residual gas. Since onset of HCCI combustion depends on the auto ignition of fuel/air mixture, there is no direct control on the start of combustion process. Therefore, HCCI combustion becomes unstable rather easily especially at lower and higher engine load. Charge strati...

A model for heat-recirculating micro combustor is developed. It investigates the structure of laminar, one-dimensional and steady state flame propagation in uniformly premixed wood particles with considering the effects of heat recirculation caused by configuration of micro combustor. The flame structure is divided into three regions: a preheat-devolatilization zone where the rate of the gas-ph...
