EVAT 554OCEAN-ATMOSPHERE DYNAMICS EQUATIONS OF MOTION LECTURE 2 (Reference: Peixoto & Oort, Chapter 3)
Let Us Consider the Equations of Fluid Mechanics at A Level Of Generality Appropriate for Both the Ocean and Atmosphere
(Material Derivative) Continuity (conservation of mass) A=dxdz V V A=dydz dz A=dxdy dy dx “Parcel”
Continuity (conservation of mass) A=dxdz V V A=dydz dz A=dxdy dy dx
Where: Continuity (conservation of mass) Lagrangian Formulation
Advection Continuity (conservation of mass) (local derivative) Eulerian Formulation
Conservation of Momentum NEWTON’S SECOND LAW (“NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION”) FOR A FLUID
MOMENTUM EQUATION Body Force Total Force per Unit Mass Friction PGF But what if we measure velocity relative to a rotating frame?
Consider a frame of reference rotating at angular velocity W Apply this to the acceleration:
