The Role of Large-scale Asymmetries and Internal Mixing in Computing Meridional Circulations Associated with the Steady-state Hurricane
نویسنده
چکیده
The role of asymmetries (large-scde horizontal eddies) in satisfying the mean angular momentum budget for the steady-state hurricane is studied by computing transverse circulations for a prescribed tangential vortex on the scale of 1000 km. For realistic diabatic heating rates at large distances from the hurricane center, the correlation between radial velocity and absolute vorticity must be negative in the upper troposphere and positive in the lower troposphere. The transverse circulations show small-scale oscillations that increase as internal mixing is increased. This paradox results from balancing “noise” in the prescribed tangential wind profiles by oscillations in the radial and vertical advection terms.

The results of a series of numerical experiments which were intended to simulate the warming and d e v e b p i n g stages of hurricane formation are discussed. I n the cxperiments, an initially weak cyclone develops into an intense vortex. However, the deepening proceeds too rapidly and meridional circulations which are too inteiisc develop. The inclusion of ground friction and vertical mixing ...

Rapid progress toward the understanding of tropical cyclones has been made during the past 10 years, largely as a result of the development of numerical models. The dynamics and energetics of the mature tropical cyclone are reviewed in this article. First, the pressure, wind, temperature, and moisture structures of the hurricane are summarized. Then a scale analysis is applied over four separat...

The phenomenon of capillary condensation is studied through the weight change of condensed phase in an internally wetted porous pd catalyst pellet during the course of exothermic reacation of cyclohexane hydrogenation in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The direct measurement of condensed phase indicates that evaporation of condensed phase is confined to the macropores of catalyst pellet at ...
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...
