Interaction of a monopole vortex with an isolated topographic feature in a three-layer geophysical flow

Abstract: In the frame of a three-layer, quasi-geostrophic analytical model of an <i>f</i>-plane geophysical flow, the Lagrangian advection induced by the interaction of a monopole vortex with an isolated topographic feature is addressed. Two different cases when the monopole is located either within the upper or the middle layer are of our interest. In the bottom layer, there is a delta-function topographic feature, which generates a closed recirculation region in its vicinity due to the background flow. Th… Show more

“…This has many implications, for instance, on the water transport in the ocean and atmosphere. Estimates show that a significant part of ocean recirculation is due to the action of coherent mesoscale eddies [2,3,6,7,141], which can be reasonably approximated by point-vortex and elliptic-vortex models [9,34,35,40,[142][143][144][145][146]. This section analyses chaotic advection of passive scalars induced by the vortex systems subjected to exterior deformation flows.…”

“…Indeed, the entrapping of coherent structures by a topographic feature is a common phenomenon in the ocean 28,31,[45][46][47][48] . When this happens, bounded motion of vortex structures may lead to effective passive scalar advection 25,33,49 .…”

“…In this case [23][24][25] , the vortex pair can be trapped near the fixed vortex in a bounded region or otherwise can move off the fixed vortex self-propelling itself to infinity. Fixing one of the vortices may be thought of as a model for topographically trapped eddies systematically observed in the ocean and accordingly modeled [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] . A significant improvement over the simplest point-vortex model towards increasing realism is the model utilizing finite area vortex patches.…”
