Effect of the Planetary Boundary Layer Horizontal Inhomogeneity in the Two-Dimensional Fluid Motion Model

详细

The generalized two-dimensional vortex equation is derived for an incompressible viscous fluid in a rotating system for a vertically averaged flow taking into account the variability of the boundary layer characteristics. The resulting equation contains parameters and their spatial derivatives determined by the second moments of functions describing the vertical profiles of the flow components. Numerical experiments demonstrate the influence of the boundary-layer horizontal inhomogeneity on the evolution of the vorticity field of a pair of atmospheric vortices.
