Flow Separation from a Corner and Formation of an Inertial Gyre on a Beta-Plane: Analytical, Numerical, and Laboratory Investigation

佩德洛斯基9810606项目将从理论上、数值上和实验上研究贝塔平面上突然扩张的通道中的带状流动问题。目的是了解气流分离、环流涡旋的形成和Rossby波的水力效应之间的关系。预期结果可用于广泛的相关海洋学问题，在这些问题中，分离是流动的一个重要特征。

Pedlosky 9810606 The project will investigate theoretically, numerically and experimentally the problem of zonal flow in a suddenly expanding channel on a beta-plane. The goal is to understand the relationship between the flow separation, formation of a re-circulation gyre and the hydraulic effect of Rossby waves. The anticipated results can be used in a broad range of related oceanographic problems where separation is an important feature of the flow.
