Jin-Qiang Zhong, M. D. Patterson, J. S. Wettlaufer

摘要:

我们观察到的瞬态形成的环形图案的状态在自旋的蒸发流体的时间尺度上的顺序几个Ekman自旋时间。环形状态探测使用红外测温和粒子图像测速仪,它被证明是一个后果的科里奥利和粘性力占主导地位的惯性,其中每一个被提取的测量速度场之间的瞬态平衡。的环形状态的崩溃量化的反相位驱动的开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性,我们表明,由此产生的涡网格间距尺度与环波长的这些力分量。这是准二维湍流涡旋流的基本途径,因此可能在天体物理学和地球物理学中具有意义,其中旋转对流是无处不在的。sics.

英文摘要:

We observe the transient formation of a ringed pattern state during spin-up of an evaporating fluid on a time scale of order a few Ekman spin-up times. The ringed state is probed using infrared thermometry and particle image velocimetry and it is demonstrated to be a consequence of the transient balance between Coriolis and viscous forces which dominate inertia, each of which are extracted from the measured velocity field. The breakdown of the ringed state is quantified in terms of the antiphasing of these force components which drives a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and we show that the resulting vortex grid spacing scales with the ring wavelength. This is the fundamental route to quasi-two dimensional turbulent vortex flow and thus may have implications in astrophysics and geophysics wherein rotating convection is ubiquitous. sics.
