Dissipative-centrifugal instability of the Burgers vortex core and cyclone-anticyclone vortex asymmetry
arXiv:1710.10590
Abstract
A new exact solution of the hydrodynamic equations is obtained in the form of the Burgers vortex generalization (BVG)accounting for the medium rotation as a whole and linear uniform friction. The nonlinear dissipative-centrifugal instability(DCI)condition, associated with some superthreshold rotation angular velocity and nonzero friction, for solid-body rotating core of BVG is obtained. The new effect of cyclone-anticyclone vortex asymmetry, arising during DCI of BVG vortex core, is shown to be similar to that observed for the atmospheres of high speed rotating planets and laboratory experiments.
