  2. Eady model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eady_model

    The model also assumes a constant static stability parameter and that fluctuations in the density of the air are small (obeys the Boussinesq approximation). Structurally, the model is bounded by two flat layers or “rigid lids”: one layer representing the Earth's surface and the other the tropopause at fixed height H. To simplify numerical ...

  3. Atmospheric instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_instability

    [clarification needed] [1] Atmospheric instability encourages vertical motion, which is directly correlated to different types of weather systems and their severity. For example, under unstable conditions, a lifted parcel of air will find cooler and denser surrounding air, making the parcel prone to further ascent, in a positive feedback loop.

  4. Static stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_stability

    Static stability is the ability of a robot to remain upright when at rest, or under acceleration and deceleration Static stability may also refer to: In aircraft or missiles: Static margin — a concept used to characterize the static stability and controllability of aircraft and missiles.

  5. Potential density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_density

    Potential density is a dynamically important property: for static stability potential density must decrease upward. If it doesn't, a fluid parcel displaced upward finds itself lighter than its neighbors, and continues to move upward; similarly, a fluid parcel displaced downward would be heavier than its neighbors.

  6. Instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instability

    Hydrodynamics simulation of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability [3] Unstable flow structure generated from the collision of two impinging jets.. Fluid instabilities occur in liquids, gases and plasmas, and are often characterized by the shape that form; they are studied in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics.

    The study of aeroelasticity may be broadly classified into two fields: static aeroelasticity, which deals with the static or steady response of an elastic body to a fluid flow; and dynamic aeroelasticity, which deals with the body's dynamic (typically vibrational) response.

  9. Kelvin–Helmholtz instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin–Helmholtz_instability

    Numerically, the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability is simulated in a temporal or a spatial approach. In the temporal approach, the flow is considered in a periodic (cyclic) box "moving" at mean speed (absolute instability). In the spatial approach, simulations mimic a lab experiment with natural inlet and outlet conditions (convective instability).
