As a first step, the theory is developed within a neutral fluid model to describe astrophysical plasma, with a subsequent generalization in mind to take into account magnetic effects. Such a model is of independent importance for studying turbulent dynamo in star-forming regions in galaxies and hydrodynamic instabilities in poorly ionized disks, for describing meridional flows below convective zones in low-mass stars and on the Sun, as well as for studying oscillations of the Sun and stars. Therefore, the results obtained have a wider application, e.g., for describing geophysical currents. The theory is based on two key ideas developed in plasma astrophysics: the use of a shallow water model with large-scale compressibility and the use of a two-layer shallow water model. Equations for two-layer shallow water are derived taking into account rotation and the effect of flow sphericity on rotation, in which the effects of large-scale compressibility are taken into account in the upper layer. For a rotating system, dispersion relations are obtained for Poincaré waves in two-layer shallow water, taking into account large-scale compressibility; similar dispersion relations for Poincaré waves are obtained in the high-frequency limit taking into account the effect of sphericity on rotation; in the low-frequency limit, a dispersion relation is obtained for Rossby waves. It is shown that the dispersion relations for Poincaré waves, taking into account the sphericity of the flow, have a qualitatively different form, which leads to three-wave interactions of Poincaré waves and the interaction of two Poincaré waves with a Rossby wave, which are not observed in a single-layer flow of a compressible fluid. All types of three-wave interactions for the flows under consideration are studied using the method of multiscale expansions.</p>","PeriodicalId":735,"journal":{"name":"Plasma Physics Reports","volume":"50 6","pages":"724 - 741"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
