Synthetic magnetism in cold atomic gases opened the doors to many exciting novel physical systems and phenomena. Ubiquitous are the methods used for the creation of synthetic magnetic fields. They include rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates employing the analogy between the Coriolis and the Lorentz force, and laser-atom interactions employing the analogy between the Berry phase and the A...

Flies use so-called halteres to sense body rotation based on Coriolis forces for supporting equilibrium reflexes. Inspired by these halteres, a biomimetic gimbal-suspended gyroscope has been developed using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Design rules for this type of gyroscope are derived, in which the haltere-inspired MEMS gyroscope is geared towards a large measurement band...

We present two new large time step methods within the framework of the wellbalanced finite volume evolution Galerkin (FVEG) schemes. The methodology will be illustrated for low Froude number shallow water flows with source terms modeling the bottom topography and Coriolis forces, but results can be generalized to more complex systems of balance laws. The FVEG methods couple a finite volume form...

here xi = (xi1, . . . , xid) are coordinates of the i-th particle and ∂xi is the gradient (∂xi1 , . . . , ∂xid); d is the space dimension (i.e. d = 3, usually). The potential energy function will be supposed “smooth”, i.e. analytic except, possibly, when two positions coincide. The latter exception is necessary to include the important cases of gravitational attraction or, when dealing with ele...

Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a simple model system used to study the interplay of buoyant forcing and rotation. Many recent studies have focused on geostrophic regime turbulent rotating where principal balance forces between Coriolis force pressure gradient. This believed be representative conditions in geophysical astrophysical flows. We hope able extrapolate findings from laboratory...

The analysis of rotational effect on the characteristics of plane waves propagating in a half space of generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium is presented in context of linear theory of thermo-piezoelectricity including Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The governing equations for a rotating generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium are formulated and solved for plane wave solutions to show the p...

2.1 Structure of the atmospheric boundary layer Wind is moving air caused by pressure differences in the atmosphere, initiated by temperature differences. At large heights (~1000 m) the wind is not perpendicular to the isobars but parallel to it due to the Coriolis force (perpendicular to the wind direction, caused by the rotation of the earth). This wind is denoted the geostrophic wind. G : pr...

This thesis reviews observational and theoretical work on the equatorial deep jets and work related to the study of the role of the horizontal Coriolis parameter. Most existing analytical models interpret the equatorial deep jets as either low frequency, long Rossby waves or stationary, long Kelvin waves generated at or near the ocean surface. These models are unable to answer the question of h...
