Torsional Oscillations of a Rotating Column of 3 He-b

چکیده
We have analysed the axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric modes of a continuum of vortices in a rotating superfluid. We have investigated how changing the temperature affects the growth rate of the disturbances. We find that, in the long axial wavelength limit the condition q = α/(1 − α) = 1, where α and α are temperature-dependent mutual friction parameters, is the crossover between damped and propagating Kelvin waves. Thus at temperatures for which q > 1, perturbations on the vortices are unlikely to cause vortex reconnections and turbulence. These results are in agreement with the recent discovery of Finne et al 1 of an intrinsic condition for the onset of quantum turbulence in He-B.

On the Convective Excitation of Torsional Oscillations in Rotating Systems
An asymptotic theory is presented to describe the possible mechanism for the excitation and maintenance of torsional oscillations in rotating convective stars and planets. It is demonstrated analytically that the torsional oscillations can be excited and sustained by global thermal convection. Subject headings: convection — hydrodynamics — stars: interiors
متن کاملTorsional Model And Analytical Simulation For Complex Rotating Machines
Complex rotating machine trains especially trains including electric machines are subject to the most varied and often most severe torsional disturbances. If shaft or rotating component failures occur as a result of torsional oscillations, the consequences can be catastrophic. In this paper a comprehensive model and simulation method using analytical formulations are developed to study both ste...
متن کاملFlow Induced by Torsional Oscillations of a Disk in a Rotating Visco-Elastic Fluid
The flow due to torsional oscillations of a disk about a steady rotation in an elastico-viscous fluid which is also rotating has been analyzed. The flow is characterized by two circularly polarized waves travelling with different velocities. It is found that the depth of penetration or wave length decreases for and increases for where is the elastic parameter and is the frequency parameter. The...
متن کاملCrustal Oscillations of Slowly Rotating Relativistic Stars
We study low-amplitude crustal oscillations of slowly rotating relativistic stars consisting of a central fluid core and an outer thin solid crust. We estimate the effect of rotation on the torsional toroidal modes and on the interfacial and shear spheroidal modes. The results compared against the Newtonian ones for wide range of neutron star models and equations of state.
