Abstract
The possibilities of the formation and characteristics of a special type of stationary concentrated vortices \(\;\nabla \times \mathbf{u} = k\mathbf{u}\) are studied with respect to the Earth’s atmosphere. A generalization of this type of vortices to a spherical coordinate system is presented, belonging to the class of Gromeki–Beltrami, N.E. Zhukovsky, and S.G. Chefranov flows. Two types of new solutions to the problem of a concentrated vortex with two and three velocity vector components are constructed: (1) the centers of the Cartesian and spherical coordinate systems coincide; (2) the spherical vortex is located above a solid surface. The distributions of vector fields of velocities and pressure in a concentrated vortex are found. This solution expands the problem of a concentrated vortex in a cylindrical coordinate system studied previously by the authors. The influence of the thickness of the spherical layer on the change in flow characteristics is analyzed. The use of the obtained characteristics of concentrated vortices to interpret a number of observed anomalous phenomena in the atmosphere, such as UFOs and ball lightning, is discussed, the explanation of frequently involves mechanisms that lie beyond the boundaries of modern physics.
期刊介绍:
High Temperature is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original papers and reviews written by theoretical and experimental researchers. The journal deals with properties and processes in low-temperature plasma; thermophysical properties of substances including pure materials, mixtures and alloys; the properties in the vicinity of the critical point, equations of state; phase equilibrium; heat and mass transfer phenomena, in particular, by forced and free convections; processes of boiling and condensation, radiation, and complex heat transfer; experimental methods and apparatuses; high-temperature facilities for power engineering applications, etc. The journal reflects the current trends in thermophysical research. It presents the results of present-day experimental and theoretical studies in the processes of complex heat transfer, thermal, gas dynamic processes, and processes of heat and mass transfer, as well as the latest advances in the theoretical description of the properties of high-temperature media.
