Wave-vortex interactions, remote recoil, the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Craik-Leibovich equation
Michael Edgeworth McIntyre
Three examples of non-dissipative yet cumulative interaction between a single wavetrain and a single vortex are analysed, with a focus on effective recoil forces, local and remote.…
Jupiter's unearthly jets: a new turbulent model exhibiting statistical steadiness without large-scale dissipation
Stephen I. Thomson, Michael E. McIntyre
A longstanding mystery about Jupiter has been the straightness and steadiness of its weather-layer jets, quite unlike terrestrial strong jets with their characteristic unsteadiness…
Polar confinement of the Sun's interior magnetic field by laminar magnetostrophic flow
Toby S. Wood, Michael E. McIntyre
The global-scale interior magnetic field needed to account for the Sun's observed differential rotation can be effective only if confined below the convection zone in all latitudes…
Confinement of the Sun's interior magnetic field, with implications for lithium burning
Toby S. Wood, Michael E. McIntyre
The simplest interior magnetic field B_i that can explain the observed uniform rotation of the Sun's radiative envelope is an axial dipole stabilized by a deep toroidal field. It c…
A general theorem on angular-momentum changes due to potential vorticity mixing and on potential-energy changes due to buoyancy mixing
Richard B. Wood, Michael E. McIntyre
An initial zonally symmetric quasigeostrophic potential-vorticity (PV) distribution q_i(y) is subjected to complete or partial mixing within some finite zone |y| < L, where y is la…
Confinement of the Sun's interior magnetic field: some exact boundary-layer solutions
T. S. Wood, M. E. McIntyre
High-latitude laminar confinement of the Sun's interior magnetic field is shown to be possible, as originally proposed by Gough and McIntyre (1998) but contrary to a recent claim b…
