A nonlinear elliptic PDE from atmospheric science: well-posedness and regularity at cloud edge
Antoine Remond-Tiedrez, Leslie M. Smith, Samuel N. Stechmann
The precipitating quasi-geostrophic equations go beyond the (dry) quasi-geostrophic equations by incorporating the effects of moisture. This means that both precipitation and phase…
Exact expressions for available potential energy and available potential vorticity
Jeffrey J. Early, Gerardo Hernández-Dueñas, Leslie M. Smith +1
Exact analytical expressions for available potential energy density (APE) and available potential vorticity (APV) are derived from first principles. These APE and APV expressions a…
Coherent Solutions and Transition to Turbulence in Two-Dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Parvathi Kooloth, David Sondak, Leslie M. Smith
For two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection, classes of unstable, steady solutions were previously computed using numerical continuation (Waleffe, 2015; Sondak, 2015). The `prim…
A reaction network approach to the theory of acoustic wave turbulence
Minh-Binh Tran, Gheorghe Craciun, Leslie M. Smith +1
We propose a new approach to study the long time dynamics of the wave kinetic equation in the statistical description of acoustic turbulence. The approach is based on rewriting the…
On the wave turbulence theory for stratified flows in the ocean
Irene M. Gamba, Leslie M. Smith, Minh-Binh Tran
After the pioneering work of Garrett and Munk, the statistics of oceanic internal gravity waves has become a central subject of research in oceanography. The time evolution of the…
Optimal Heat Transport in Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
David Sondak, Leslie M. Smith, Fabian Waleffe
Steady flows that optimize heat transport are obtained for two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection with no-slip horizontal walls for a variety of Prandtl numbers and Raylei…
