Axisymmetrically Tropical Cyclone-like Vortices with Secondary Circulations

Liang Sun

The secondary circulation of the tropical cyclone (TC) is related to its formation and intensification, thus becomes very important in the studies. The analytical solutions have bo…

An exact axisymmetric spiral solution of incompressible 3D Euler equations

Liang Sun

Spiral structure is one of the most common structures in the nature flows. A general steady spiral solution of incompressible inviscid axisymmetric flow was obtained analytically b…

General Temporal Instability Criteria For Stably Stratified Inviscid Flow

Liang Sun

The temporal instability of stably stratified flow was investigated by analyzing the Taylor-Goldstein equation theoretically. According to this analysis, the stable stratification…

Stabilities of Parallel Flow and Horizontal Convection

Liang Sun

In the first part, the stability of two-dimensional parallel flow is discussed. A more restrictively general stability criterion for inviscid parallel flow is obtained analytically…

The sensitivity and stability of the ocean's thermohaline circulation to finite amplitude perturbations

Mu Mu, Liang Sun, Henk A. Dijkstra

Within a simple model context, the sensitivity and stability of the thermohaline circulation to finite amplitude perturbations is studied. A new approach is used to tackle this non…

Onset of unsteady horizontal convection in rectangle tank at

Liang Sun, Dong-Jun MA, Wei Zhang +1

The horizontal convection within a rectangle tank is numerically simulated. The flow is found to be unsteady at high Rayleigh numbers. There is a Hopf bifurcation of from stea…
