Three Dimensional Vector Field

A two-dimensional scalar wavefield of fixed frequency contains, in general, points where the amplitude is zero and the phase is indeter­minate. On a map of contours of equal phase these wave dislocations (interference nulls) are accompanied by saddles. When an external parameter is changed dislocations can be created in pairs or a pair can meet and destroy one another. For the simplest single-frequency wave equation it is a topological necessity that two saddles should participate in this event; moreover, they have to lie, in the final stage before annihilation, on the circle whose diameter is the line joining the dislocations. Examples are given to show how this basic pattern is always ultimately attained even when initially the configuration is quite different. In tidal theory, where the dislocations are amphidromic points, the external parameter that moves them can be the frequency. An example of an annihilation event occurs in the South Atlantic, and a close pair of amphidromic points may explain anomalous tidal observations from the Antarctic Peninsula. The tidal current, as distinct from the tidal rise and fall, provides an example of a two or three-dimensional vector field, and it is pointed out that the singularities in this field are precisely the same as those to be found in the polarization field of an electromagnetic wave.

This paper proposes an approach to implement the 3D visualization of oil spill based on tidal hydrodynamic model. It simulates tidal current of M2 component tide in Jiaozhou Bay. The simulation results conform to the tidal theory and probably conform to the flow measurement report of crude oil pier Phase III at Qingdao Harbor. Based on tidal current and eye-point related adaptive ocean surface mesh model, by analyzing the drift and diffusion mathematical models of oil spill on the sea, the dynamic visualization of drift and diffusion course of oil on the sea were implemented, the visualization result is satisfactory.

Abstract. Diurnal tidal components in horizontal winds measured by MST radar in the troposphere and lower stratosphere over a tropical station Gadanki (13.5° N, 79.2° E) are presented for the autumn equinox, winter, vernal equinox and summer seasons. For this purpose radar data obtained over many diurnal cycles from September 1995 to August 1996 are used. The results obtained show that although the seasonal variation of the diurnal tidal amplitudes in zonal and meridional winds is not strong, vertical phase propagation characteristics show significant seasonal variation. An attempt is made to simulate the diurnal tidal amplitudes and phases in the lower atmosphere over Gadanki using classical tidal theory by incorporating diurnal heat sources, namely, solar radiation absorption by water vapour, planetary boundary layer (PBL) heat flux, latent heat release in deep convective clouds and short wave solar radiation absorption by clouds. A comparison of the simulated amplitudes and phases with the observed ones shows that agreement between the two is quite good for the equinox seasons, especially the vertical structure of the phases of the meridional wind components.Key words.

AbstractMost short period transiting exoplanets have circular orbits, as expected from an estimation of the circularisation timescale using classical tidal theory. Interestingly, a small number of short period transiting exoplanets seem to have orbits with a small eccentricity. Such systems are valuable as they may indicate that some key physics is missing from formation and evolution models. We have analysed the results of a campaign of radial velocity measurements of known transiting planets with the SOPHIE and HARPS spectrographs using Bayesian methods and obtained new constraints on the orbital elements of 12 known transiting exoplanets. We also reanalysed the radial velocity data for another 42 transiting systems and show that some of the eccentric orbits reported in the Literature are compatible with a circular orbit. As a result, we show that the systems with circular and eccentric orbits are clearly separated on a plot of the planetary mass versus orbital period. We also show that planets following the trend where heavier hot Jupiters have shorter orbital periods (the “mass-period relation” of hot Jupiters), also tend to have circular orbits, with no confirmed exception to this rule so far.
