Internal wave energy flux from density perturbations in nonlinear stratifications
Frank M. Lee, Michael R. Allshouse, Harry L. Swinney +1
Internal gravity wave energy contributes significantly to the energy budget of the oceans, affecting mixing and the thermohaline circulation. Hence it is important to determine the…
Epi-two-dimensional fluid flow: a new topological paradigm for dimensionality
Z. Yoshida, P. J. Morrison
While a variety of fundamental differences are known to separate two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fluid flows, it is not well understood how they are related. Conven…
Symplectic Maps for Diverted Plasmas
I. L. Caldas, B. F. Bartoloni, D. Ciro +8
Nowadays, divertors are used in the main tokamaks to control the magnetic field and to improve the plasma confinement. In this article, we present analytical symplectic maps descri…
Metriplectic formalism: friction and much more
Massimo Materassi, Philip J. Morrison
The metriplectic formalism couples Poisson brackets of the Hamiltonian description with metric brackets for describing systems with both Hamiltonian and dissipative components. The…
Plasma turbulence in the equatorial electrojet: A two-dimensional Hamiltonian fluid model
Ehab Hassan, I. Keramidas Charidakos, P. J. Morrison +2
A nonlinear unified fluid model that describes the Equatorial Electrojet, including the Farley-Buneman and gradient-drift plasma instabilities, is defined and shown to be a noncano…
