摘要:

A simple way to model stratification of the ocean or atmosphere is in terms of two superposed homogeneous layers of different density. Effects of cooling of the upper layer, such as that which occurs during bottom-water formation in the ocean, can be simulated by mass transfer from the upper layer to the lower layer. A model is constructed to see What effect such a mass transfer has on the flow when the mass transfer is confined to a limited region. The main effects are (i) doming of the interface, which maintains pressure gradients in balance with the velocity field, (ii) cyclonic rotation in the upper layer due to conservation of angular momentum of particles king drawn toward the sink, yet anticyclonic vorticity for those particles outside the mass transfer region due to shrinking of vortex lines drawn up over the dome. (iii) generally anticyclonic rotation in the lower layer due to particles tending to maintain their angular momentum while being pushed outwards, but some cyclonic rotation near the centre of mass transfer, due to momentum transfer from the upper layer. Similar effects to these are seen in the Greenland Sea where bottom water formation occurs. Results of the same sort are also found in a laboratory model of the process.

摘要:

If a contained homogeneous, rotating fluid is forced near to a resonance for elastoid-inertia waves, strong vortices are observed to form. Numerical experiments reported here lend support to the explanation that these are due to a redistribution of the angular momentum by the waves. If the waves grow until the Angular momentum gradient is overturned somewhere, turbulent mixing there make the redistribution irreversible, resulting in a vortex. The process is analogous to the formation of steps in a stratified fluid by breaking internal waves.

摘要:

We have previously described a method for the precise study of steady two-dimensional convection problems in the asymptotic limit of large Rayleigh numberR, assuming a very viscous fluid with the Prandtl number effectively infinite. The method here is applied to cellular convection between isothermal horizontal planes (Bénard convection). The result for the dimensionless heat flux, or Nusselt number, iswherecis ⅓ for free-surface convection and ⅕ for fixed surface convection. The constantbis found numerically, as a function of the cell aspect ratio.

摘要:

A numerical analysis of convective motion in a model with one free and one rigid boundary is performed. The stationary two-dimensional solutions are found and their dependence on the Rayleigh number, the wave number and the Prandtl number is discussed. The stability of the two-dimensional rolls with respect to three-dimensional disturbances is analysed. It is found that The different disturbances depend strongly on the Prandtl number.
