The Okubo-Weiss Criteria in Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic and Magnetohydrodynamic Flows
B. K. Shivamoggi ; G. J. F. van Heijst ;
Date 27 Oct 2011
AbstractThe "slow-variation" restriction on the straining flow velocity gradient field used in the Okubo-Weiss criterion is quantified via the Beltrami condition with the divorticity framework in 2D hydrodynamic flows. This turns out to provide interesting interpretations of the Okubo-Weiss criterion in terms of the topological properties of the underlying vorticity manifold. These developments are then extended to 2D quasi-geostrophic flows (via the potential divorticity framework) and magnetohydrodynamic flows and the Okubo-Weiss criteria for these cases are considered.
