Stability of a pair of planar counter-rotating vortices in a rectangular box

Abstract: The stability and transition of a pair of planar counter-rotating vortices in a conÿned region are investigated numerically. Direct numerical simulations in a rectangular box:where k is an aspect ratio, are done with symmetric external forcing. A pair of steady symmetric counter-rotating vortices are generated under weak forcing while they become unstable with stronger forcing. Special attention is paid to the e ect of the aspect ratio k on the stability and the transition. It is found that a steady asymmetric… Show more

“…In particular, coexisting co-rotating and counter-rotating systems characterized by positive and negative frequencies, respectively, are wide spread in nature. For instance, counter-rotating spirals are observed in protoplasm of the Physarum plasmodium [27], counter-rotating vortices are inevitable in the atmosphere and ocean [28][29][30], in magnetohydrodynamics of plasma flow [31], Bose-Einstein condensates [32,33], and in other physical systems [34][35][36]. Very recently, the counter-rotating frequency induced dynamical effects were also reported in the coupled Stuart-Landau oscillator with symmetry preserving as well as symmetry breaking couplings [37].…”

“…On the other hand, coexisting co-and counter-rotating dynamical activity has a wide range of applications in diverse fields, including physical [30,31], biological [32,33], and fluid dynamics [34][35][36] contexts. For instance, counter-rotating spirals can be found in biological media, such as Physarum plasmodium protoplasm [32,33].…”

“…On the other hand, coexisting co-and counter-rotating dynamical activity can be found in various natural systems such as fluid dynamics 32,33 , physical 34,35 as well as biological systems 36 . Hence special attention is deemed towards enriching our knowledge on counter-rotation induced collective dynamics in various systems.…”
