Oceanic water intrusion into Kagoshima Bay resulting in thermal stratification

Kagoshima Bay is an enclosed bay that has the tendency to undergo eutrophication, and a very important site to describe the behavior of open seawater intrusion. According to the results of the satellite SST (Sea Surface Temperature) image analysis or numerical simulation focused on the warm water intrusion into the bay in winter, a warm water mass originates in the meandering Kuroshio Current and reaches the mouth of the bay making the density flow to act like a semi-geostrophic current that is influenced by the Coriolis effect. However, there is still no information on the oceanic intruding flow during the summer, where it is accompanied by thermal stratification. In this research, satellite remote sensing and numerical simulation were employed to investigate the oceanic water intrusion into Kagoshima Bay during the summer season by using satellite chl-a (chlorophyll-a) images instead of SST. As a result, the distribution of the low-concentration chl-a with the oceanic water intrusion was found to be similar to the intrusion that occurs during the winter season. Furthermore, the numerical simulation was performed under the simple assumption that the thickness of the warm water mass that reaches the southern coast of Kyushu also shows the same tendency as in the winter season. Although the characteristics, such as the intruding speed or intruding pattern, are similar in winter, some features such as the generation of the inflow from the middle layer, showed a different tendency.     

Warm ocean water intrusion into Kagoshima Bay

From the field observations and the buoy robot data, the warm ocean water is known to intrude into Kagoshima Bay intermittently in winter. We first visualize these phenomena using some satellite thermal infrared images. Then the numerical analysis is performed employing a multi-level finite difference method (FDM). It is found from the numerical analysis that the intrusion occurs when the warm water comes into touch with the bay water at the mouth of the bay. The calculated warm water distribution in the bay is similar to the satellite images and the velocity of the intrusion is the same order with the ones estimated by the buoy robot data and the satellite images. The intrusion occurs even without the tidal effect, the role of the tide is only to rectify some warm water distribution in the bay.     

A study in the developing region of square jet

The developing region of a turbulent square jet is investigated using high-resolution particle image velocimetry (PIV). The mean velocity and turbulence stresses are presented in various horizontal planes, along the jet centerline covering the initial region of the jet as well as the transition to the self-similar region. To study the flow structure away from the central plane, velocity measurements in two additional horizontal planes, one located halfway from the jet central plane toward the edge and the other at the edge of the square jet, are also examined. Analysis of the instantaneous velocity fields reveal the presence of an arrow-like feature in the square jet due to the higher instability generated in the jet shear layer compared with a round jet. To elucidate the imprints of the vortex structures present in the jets, a swirling strength-based vortex identification methodology is applied on a large ensemble of instantaneous velocity fields. Statistical analysis of the number of vortex cores, and their size and rotational strength in the measurement plane is undertaken. Vortex population at the edge was found to be very different compared with that in the central plane.     

Capture of gravel by the head of a dam-break wave in a dry bed

It is experimentally found that a horizontal vortex is formed in the head of a dam-break wave, whose diameter is of the same order of magnitude as the wave amplitude. A close packing of vortex dipoles with a diameter of about the bottom particle size arises near the bottom. The central part of the dipoles lifts with the captured gravel and is twisted with the large vortex to form a wisp. The central part of the wisp lifts to form a wall composed of water and gravel.     

The potential and vortex traces of a tsunamigenic earthquake in the ocean

An equation system that describes the potential and vortex residual hydrodynamical fields that emerge in the rotating ocean during tsunami generation by co-seismic deformations of the bottom was obtained in terms of linear long-wave theory. For the model case of a cylindrically symmetrical deformation of the bottom, a completely analytical solution was found. On the basis of this solution, the structure of residual fields was analyzed and estimates of the residual horizontal displacements of water particles, of the speed of the vortex current, and of the energy of a geostrophic vortex were obtained under typical tsunami source conditions.     

Influence of interactive stratospheric chemistry on large-scale air mass exchange in a global circulation model

A new globally uniform Lagrangian transport scheme for large ensembles of passive tracer particles is presented and applied to wind data from a coupled atmosphere-ocean climate model that includes interactive dynamical feedback with stratospheric chemistry. This feedback from the chemistry is found to enhance large-scale meridional air mass exchange in the northern winter stratosphere as well as intrusion of stratospheric air into the troposphere, where both effects are due to a weakened polar vortex.

Fluid particle advection in the vicinity of the Föppl vortex system

Fluid particle advection in the vicinity of the Föppl vortex system is considered. Due to periodic motion of vortices about the Föppl equilibrium, fluid particles within the vortex atmosphere, the fluid region with a velocity field being induced by the vortices, can move chaotic in the sense of exponential divergence of near trajectories. This chaotic motion leads to the vortex atmosphere particles to be carried away from the atmosphere to the exterior flow. In this Letter, the part of the carried away fluid particles is numerically assessed and the dynamics of the fluid release from the vortex atmosphere is demonstrated.

Investigation of piezoelectrically generated synthetic jet flow

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the compressible turbulent synthetic jet flow characteristics of a dual diaphragm piezoelectric actuator. Experimentally, a flow visualization system was established to obtain the particle streak images scattered from 10-μm red fluorescent spheres for observing the synthetic jet flowfield produced by a dual diaphragm piezo actuator. The centerline velocity of the synthetic jet was also measured by using a hot-wire anemometry system. In the analysis, the computational approach adopted the transient three-dimensional conservation equations of mass and momentum with the moving boundary specified to represent the piezo diaphragm motion. The standard k-∈ two-equation turbulent model was employed for turbulence closure. For the actuator operating at the frequency of 648 Hz, the particle streakline images in the cross-sectional plane visualized a turbulent jet flow pattern in the far-field area. The hot-wire anemometry data indicated that the measured centerline velocity of synthetic jets reached 3.8 m/s at y/d= 50. The predictions were compared with the visualized particle streak images and centerline velocity of the synthetic jet in order to validate the computer code. The numerical simulation revealed the time-periodic formation and advection of discrete vortex pairs. Caused by the outward movement of the piezo diaphragms, air near the orifice was entrained into the actuator cavity when the vortex pairs were sufficiently distant from the orifice.

Matrix formulation of hydrodynamics and extension of ptolemaic flows to three-dimensional motions

A new matrix formulation of Lagrange hydrodynamic equations is proposed. Exact solutions of those equations are obtained in matrix form. It is found that precession of vortex lines around some fixed axis in space is a general property of the flows described by those solutions. Two types of fluid motion are studied. Flows of the first type have straight vortex lines, and their particle trajectories are windings on toroidal surfaces. The other flows have plane particle trajectories, and their vortex lines are arbitrarily shaped plane curves. All these motions are shown to be three-dimensional generalizations of plane Ptolemaic flows [1,2].Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 39, No. 6, pp. 783–796, June, 1996.The authors express their gratitude to the Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research for support of these investigations under Grant No. 96-01-00585 and to INTAS Foundation for support under Grant No. 93-1373.

Thermal crisis of a vortex source in a real gas flowing into vacuum with heat supply under constant pressure

Thermal crisis of a vortex source at energy input under constant pressure is investigated. The energy release intensities per unit mass and per unit volume are analyzed for the case of the vortex source flow into vacuum (regime I). Analytical solutions for gasdynamic parameters and an algorithm for constructing the heat release intensity function for different variants of vortex sources are studied. Limitations on the extension of a constant-pressure interval are determined, and the dependences of the energy input area critical coordinates, critical temperature, and energy input parameters on the mass flow, gas circulation, and initial coordinate of the energy input area are obtained. A small correction to the gas specific heat with rising temperature and a significant correction to the specific heat at a stagnation temperature of 1000 K are considered.     

Entrained droplets in underexpanded gas jet in water

Abstract  

A visualization study was performed to investigate the flow of an underexpanded nitrogen gas jet injected into water. The stagnation pressure was varied in the range 0.5–8.0 MPa. The gas jet length and expansion angle were obtained from time-averaged images captured using a high-speed camera. The gas jet length and expansion angle increased approximately linearly with increasing stagnation pressure. The entrainment velocity and the velocity of entrained water droplets in the gas jet were obtained by particle image velocimetry.     

Deep scattering layers in the northwestern pacific

The large-scale horizontal variability of deep scattering layers (DSL) in the Northwestern Pacific is analyzed. The analysis is based on long-term measurements of the column strength and the volume scattering coefficient for frequencies from 0.63 to 16 kHz. The depth and frequency dependences of the scattering coefficient are presented for different regions of the aforementioned ocean region. The most pronounced changes in the DSL structure are found to occur at the boundaries between large-scale water masses or seas with different hydrological characteristics. By contrast, within such water masses and seas, the depth-frequency structure of the DSL remains relatively stable.

Numerical calculations of (finite temperature) superfluid vortex ring propagation against a particulate sheet show that the solid particle trajectories collapse to a very good approximation to the normal-fluid path lines. We propose an experiment in which, by measuring the solid particles' velocities, direct information about the instantaneous normal-fluid velocity values could be obtained.
