In this paper, the geometry of solution trajectories for three first-order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants for elementary three-dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow.Abstract:
The geometry of solution trajectories for three first‐order coupled linear differential equations can be related and classified using three matrix invariants. This provides a generalized approach to the classification of elementary three‐dimensional flow patterns defined by instantaneous streamlines for flow at and away from no‐slip boundaries for both compressible and incompressible flow. Although the attention of this paper is on the velocity field and its associated deformation tensor, the results are valid for any smooth three‐dimensional vector field. For example, there may be situations where it is appropriate to work in terms of the vorticity field or pressure gradient field. In any case, it is expected that the results presented here will be of use in the interpretation of complex flow field data.read more

Inverse cascade and symmetry breaking in rapidly rotating Boussinesq convection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present numerical simulations of rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection in the Boussinesq approximation with stress-free boundary conditions, and show that a large-scale depth-invariant flow is formed, reminiscent of the condensate state observed in two-dimensional flows.

A Fourier–Chebyshev spectral collocation method for simulating flow past spheres and spheroids
TL;DR: In this article, an accurate Fourier-Chebyshev spectral collocation method was developed for simulating flow past prolate spheroids, where the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were transformed to the prolate Spheroidal co-ordinate system and discretized on an orthogonal body fitted mesh.
