不稳定正压急流的累积展开统计
Statistics of an Unstable Barotropic Jet from a Cumulant Expansion
摘要:
研究了旋转球上正压气流的低阶等时统计特性。流动由线性松弛驱动,朝向不稳定的纬向急流。对于相对较短的弛豫时间,流动由临界层波主导。对于足够长的弛豫时间,流动是湍流。从二阶累积展开得到的统计数据进行比较,在直接数值模拟中积累的,揭示了不同的弛豫时间的扩展的优势和局限性。
英文摘要:
Low-order equal-time statistics of a barotropic flow on a rotating sphere are investigated. The flow is driven by linear relaxation toward an unstable zonal jet. For relatively short relaxation times, the flow is dominated by critical-layer waves. For sufficiently long relaxation times, the flow is turbulent. Statistics obtained from a second-order cumulant expansion are compared to those accumulated in direct numerical simulations, revealing the strengths and limitations of the expansion for different relaxation times.
