Boundary Configuration of Heat-Treated Dauphiné Twin by X-Ray Topography and Computer Simulation

Abstract

Statistical mechanics of quasi-geostrophic flows on a sphere deformation radius. Previous studies were restricted to flows in a planar domain with fixed or periodic boundary conditions with a beta-effect.In these different cases, we are able to classify the statistical equilibria for the large-scale flow through their macroscopic features. We build the phase diagrams of the system and discuss the relations of the various statistical ensembles.
