    Notes: Simplified asymptotic equations describing the nonlinear dynamics of perturbed pairs of parallel vortex filaments are derived and analyzed here. The derivations are general enough to allow for vortices of unequal strength, but emphasis here is on the antiparallel vortex pair. The simplified asymptotic equations account for both the internal effects of self-induction and self-stretching for each filament and also the external effects of mutual induction that lead to a nontrivial coupling of the perturbations of the two filaments. When these nonlinear equations are linearized at the unperturbed filament pair, the linearized stability theory of Crow [AIAA J. 8, 2172 (1970)] is recovered in a systematic fashion. The asymptotic equations are derived in a novel singular limit at high Reynolds numbers through assumptions similar to the authors' recent theories [Physica D 49, 323 (1991); ibid. 53, 267 (1991); Phys. Fluids A 4, 2271 (1992)] for the dynamics of a single perturbed vortex filament. Through the Hasimoto transform [J. Fluid Mech. 51, 477 (1972)], these equations become two coupled perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equations for a pair of filament functions. A series of numerical solutions of the asymptotic equations exhibits several new phenomena in the nonlinear instability of pairs of antiparallel vortex filaments.

    Notes: Recently, two of the authors have derived [Physica D 49, 323 (1991)] and analyzed [Physica D 53, 267 (1991)] a new asymptotic equation for the evolution of small-amplitude short-wavelength perturbations of slender vortex filaments in high Reynolds number flows. This asymptotic equation differs significantly from the familiar local self-induction equation in that it includes some of the nonlocal effects of self-stretching of the filament in a simple fashion. Here, through systematic asymptotic expansions, the authors derive a modification of this asymptotic equation that incorporates the important additional effects of strain and rotation from a general background flow field. The main requirement on the background flow is that it does not displace the unperturbed background filament. The new asymptotic equations exhibit in a simple fashion the direct competition in filament dynamics between internal effects such as self-induction and self-stretching and external effects of background flows involving strain and rotation. Solutions of these asymptotic equations revealing various aspects of this competition are analyzed in detail through both theory and numerical simulation. An application is also presented for the nonlinear stability of a columnar vortex to suitable perturbations in a straining, rotating, background environment.

    Notes: The numerical description of slender vortex motion faces several major obstacles: (i) The stiffness induced by the rapid rotatory motion in the vortex core, where peak velocities are an order of magnitude larger than the filament velocity. In a vorticity-velocity formulation, this stiffness is reflected by the singular behavior of the line-Biot-Savart integral as one approaches the vortex geometry. Regularization occurs physically by viscous smoothing of the vorticity. (ii) The vortex core vorticity distribution has a crucial influence on the vortex filament motion. Thus, an accurate description of the core structure evolution due to vortex stretching and vorticity diffusion is necessary. We propose a numerical scheme that allows an accurate description of the effects of axial flow in the core, viscosity and vortex stretching on slender vortex filament motion. The approach is based on incorporating the detailed asymptotic analyses of the vortex core structure evolution by Callegari and Ting [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 15, 148 (1978)] and Klein and Ting [Appl. Math. Lett. 8, 45 (1995)] for stretched viscous slender vortices into the improved thin-tube vortex element schemes of Klein and Knio (1995). The resulting schemes overcome the difficulties mentioned above except for the issue of temporal stiffness, which we leave for future work. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt das Geschwindigkeitsfeld fernab einer Wirbelverteilung, welche mit dem Abstandr vom Ursprung eines geeigneten Bezugssystems hinreichend schnell abklingt. Die Geschwindigkeit besitzt ein Vektorpotential, dessen Fernfeldverhalten einer Reihenentwicklung ΣA (n), genügt. Dabei istA (n) proportional zur −n−1 fürn=1, 2, .... Wir entwickeln eine explizite Darstellung vonA (n) als Linearkombination vonM n linear unabhängigen Vektorfunktionen. Die auftretenden Koeffizienten sind ihrerseits Kombinationenn-ter Momente der Wirbelverteilung. Die ZahlM 1 ist gleich 3 und es istM n=4n fürn≥2, während die Gesamtzahl dernten Momente $$\frac{3}{2}(n + 1)(n + 2)$$ beträgt. Weiterhin zeigen wir, da\ nur 2n+1 dieser Vektorfunktionen auch zum drehungsfreien Fernfeld der Geschwindigkeitn-ter Ordnung beitragen können und identifizieren die zugehörigen Kombinationen von Wirbelmomenten. Dieselben Kombinationen liefern dann auch die Koeffizienten in einer Entwicklung desskalaren Fernfeldpotentials nach Kugelfunktionen.
    Notes: Abstract We study the velocity field induced by a vorticity distribution decaying rapidly in the distancer from the origin. In the far field, the vector potential for the velocity field can be represented by a series ΣA (n), withA (n) proportional tor −n−1, forn=1, 2, .... We show thatA (n) can be expressed as a linear combination ofM n linearly independent vector functions. The numberM n is equal to 3 forn=1 and 4n forn≥2 and the coefficient of a vector function is defined by a linear combination of $$\frac{3}{2}(n + 1)(n + 2)$$ nth moments of vorticity. We then show that only 2n+1 linear combinations of thoseM n vector functions contribute to the far field velocity which is irrotational. The corresponding scalar potential Φ (n) is then represented by a linear combination of 2n+1 spherical harmonics ofnth order whose coefficients are again linear combinations ofnth moments of vorticity.

    Description: When attempting to compute unsteady, variable density flows at very small or zero Mach number using a standard finite volume compressible flow solver one faces at least the following difficulties: (i) Spatial pressure variations vanish as the Mach number $M \rightarrow 0$, but they do affect the velocity field at leading order; (ii) the resulting spatial homogeneity of the leading order pressure implies an elliptic divergence constraint for the energy flux; (iii) violation of this constraint would crucially affect the transport of mass, thereby disabling a code to properly advect even a constant density distribution. A previous companion paper derived the above observations from a single time - multiple length scale asymptotic analysis for $M \ll 1$, applied to the conservation form of the governing equations and assuming an ideal gas with constant specific heats. The paper then restricted to weakly compressible one-dimensional flows and introduced a semi-implicit extension of a compressible flow solver, designed to handle the interaction of long wavelength acoustics with small scale, large amplitude density fluctuations. In the present paper we concentrate on the limit of zero Mach number for multi-dimensional, variable density flows. The construction of numerical fluxes for all conserved quantities involves: An explicit upwind step (1) yielding predictions for the nonlinear convective flux components. This procedure still neglects the influence of pressure gradients on the convective fluxes during the time step. Suitable corrections are applied in step (2), which guarantees compliance of the convective fluxes with the divergence constraint. This step requires the solution of a Poisson-type equation to obtain the relevant pressure gradients. Step (3), which requires the solution of a second Poisson-type equation, yields the yet unknown (non-convective) pressure contribution to the total flux of momentum. The final, cell centered velocity field exactly satisfies a discrete divergence constraint consistent with the asymptotic limit. Notice that step (1) can be done by any standard finite volume compressible flow solver and that the input to steps (2) and (3) involves solely the fluxes from step (1), but is independent on how these were obtained. Thus, we claim that our approach allows any such solver to be extended to simulate incompressible flows. Extensions to the weakly compressible regime $0 〈 M \ll 1$, reactive flows and more complex equations of state will be addressed in follow-up publications.

    Description: Starting from the conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy together with a three species, bulk microphysic model, a model for the interaction of internal gravity waves and deep convective hot towers is derived by using multiscale asymptotic techniques. From the resulting leading order equations, a closed model is obtained by applying weighted averages to the smallscale hot towers without requiring further closure approximations. The resulting model is an extension of the linear, anelastic equations, into which moisture enters as the area fraction of saturated regions on the microscale with two way coupling between the large and small scale. Moisture reduces the effective stability in the model and defines a potential temperature sourceterm related to the net effect of latent heat release or consumption by microscale up- and downdrafts. The dispersion relation and group velocity of the system is analyzed and moisture is found to have several effects: It reduces energy transport by waves, increases the vertical wavenumber but decreases the slope at which wave packets travel and it introduces a lower horizontal cutoff wavenumber, below which modes turn into evanescent. Further, moisture can cause critical layers. Numerical examples for steadystate and timedependent mountain waves are shown and the effects of moisture on these waves are investigated.
