  1. Chjan Lim RPI, Troy, NY, UShttp://www.rpi.edu/~limc Statistical Equilibrium in large scale atmospheric and planetary flows - exact solns for phase transitions to super-rotation in barotropic and divergent flows coupled to rotating sphere Based on joint work with X. Ding Cf. Physica A 2006, J. Math Phys june 2007, and new book Vorticity, Stat Mech and MC Simulations, Springer Oct 2006

  2. Collaborators and acknowledgement • Xueru Ding, PhD student at RPI • Dr. Joseph Nebus, lecturer at NUS Singapore • Support provided by US ARO and DOE

  3. Venus Super-Rotation

  4. BECondensation to super-rotation

  5. Coupled fluid – solid sphere system • Thin fluid shell – nondivergent and divergent – envelopes rotating infinitely massive solid sphere • Fluid assumed inviscid but able to exchange energy and angular momentum with sphere • This complex torque mechanism is not resolved

  6. Energy of the Fluid • Due to above modeling assumptions, rest frame energy of the fluid is not a Hamiltonian • No need for that in generalized path-integral approach used here • There is no need for a local in time governing PDE in the statistical mechanics approach in use

  7. Restframe energy • For nondivergent barotropic fluid, the energy in the restframe

  8. Energy II • Dropping the last – constant term – we get Second term is proportional to angular momentum

  9. Energy III

  10. Spin Lattice coupled BV Models

  11. Coupled BV - constraints

  12. Coupled BV – partition function = 0

  13. Coupled BV - BECondensation Super-Rotation

  14. Coupled BV Monte-Carlo simulation results Sub-Rotation

  15. Coupled BV – disordered phase

  16. coupledBV – MC phase transitions Mean Nearest Neighbor Parity

  17. Coupled BV – transitions II
