Axisymmetric (Oblate) Equilibrium Structures[edit]

Setup[edit]

Here we specifically discuss the case of configurations that exhibit concentric ellipsoidal iso-density surfaces of the form,

ρ

=

ρc[1−(x2+y2aℓ2+z2as2)],

that is, axisymmetric (am=aℓ, i.e., oblate) configurations with parabolic density distributions. Much of our presentation, here, is drawn from our separate, detailed description of what we will refer to as Ferrers potential.

This can be rewritten in terms of T1 Coordinates. In particular, defining, q≡aℓ/as and,

ξ1

≡

[z2+(ϖq)2]1/2=as[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]1/2

⇒ρρc

=

[1−(ξ1as)2].

Because we expect contours of constant enthalpy (H) to coincide with contours of constant density in equilibrium configurations, we should expect to find that,

HHc

=

h(ξ1).

If the "radial" enthalpy profile resembles our derived spherical enthalpy profile, we should expect to find that,

h(ξ1)

∼

h0[1−h2ξ12−h4ξ14]

⇒1−h(ξ1)h0

∼

h2ξ12+h4ξ14

 

=

h2as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]+h4{as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]}2

 

=

h2as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]+h4as4[(zas)4+2(zas)2(ϖaℓ)2+(ϖaℓ)4]

Total Mass[edit]

The surface of the configuration with eccentricity, e, is defined by the expression,

1

=

ϖ2aℓ2+z2as2=χ2+(1−e2)−1ζ2.

When integrating over the volume elements, at each "radial" location, χ,the vertical limit will be given by the expression,

ζlimit

=

(1−e2)1/2(1−χ2)1/2

Specifically,

volume

=

aℓ32π∫01χdχ∫0ζlimit2dζ

 

=

aℓ34π∫01χ[ζ]0ζlimitdχ

 

=

aℓ34π(1−e2)1/2∫01χ(1−χ2)1/2dχ.

Make the variable substitution, χ→sin⁡θ⇒dχ=cos⁡θdθ …

volume

=

aℓ34π(1−e2)1/2∫0π/2sin⁡θcos⁡2θdθ

 

=

aℓ34π(1−e2)1/2[−cos3θ3]0π/2

 

=

4πaℓ33(1−e2)1/2.


Likewise, the mass is given by the expression,

Mtot

=

[ρcaℓ3]2π∫01χdχ∫0ζlimit2(ρρc)dζ

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]4π∫01χdχ{∫0ζlimit[1−χ2−ζ2(1−e2)−1]dζ}

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]4π∫01χdχ{∫0ζlimit[1−χ2]dζ−∫0ζlimit[ζ2(1−e2)−1]dζ}

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]4π∫01χdχ{[(1−χ2)ζ]0ζlimit−[ζ33(1−e2)−1]0ζlimit}

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]4π∫01χdχ{(1−χ2)[(1−e2)1/2(1−χ2)1/2]−13(1−e2)[(1−e2)1/2(1−χ2)1/2]3}

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]4π∫01χdχ{[(1−e2)1/2(1−χ2)3/2]−13[(1−e2)1/2(1−χ2)3/2]}

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]4π∫01χdχ{23[(1−e2)1/2(1−χ2)3/2]}

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]8π3(1−e2)1/2∫01χ[(1−χ2)3/2]dχ.

Again making the variable substitution, χ→sin⁡θ⇒dχ=cos⁡θdθ …

Mtot

=

[ρcaℓ3]8π3(1−e2)1/2∫0π/2sin⁡θcos⁡4θdθ

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]8π3(1−e2)1/2[−cos5θ5]0π/2

 

=

[ρcaℓ3]8π15(1−e2)1/2.

When we set e=0, this result matches the expression for the total mass of a spherically symmetric configuration with a parabolic density distribution.

Gravitational Potential[edit]

As we have detailed in an accompanying discussion, for an oblate-spheroidal configuration — that is, when as<am=aℓ — the gravitational potential may be obtained from the expression,

Φgrav(𝐱)(−πGρc)

=

12IBTa12−(A1x2+A2y2+A3z2)+(A12x2y2+A13x2z2+A23y2z2)+16(3A11x4+3A22y4+3A33z4),

where, in the present context, we can rewrite this expression as,

Φgrav(𝐱)(−πGρc)

=

12IBTaℓ2−[Aℓ(x2+y2)+Asz2]+[Aℓℓx2y2+Aℓsx2z2+Aℓsy2z2]+16[3Aℓℓx4+3Aℓℓy4+3Assz4]

 

=

12IBTaℓ2−[Aℓϖ2+Asz2]+[Aℓℓx2y2+Aℓsϖ2z2]+12[Aℓℓ(x4+y4)+Assz4]

 

=

12IBTaℓ2−[Aℓϖ2+Asz2]+Aℓℓ2[(x2+y2)2]+12[Assz4]+[Aℓsϖ2z2]

 

=

12IBTaℓ2−[Aℓϖ2+Asz2]+Aℓℓ2[ϖ4]+12[Assz4]+[Aℓsϖ2z2]

⇒Φgrav(𝐱)(−πGρcaℓ2)

=

12IBT−[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+As(z2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)].

Index Symbol Expressions[edit]

The expression for the zeroth-order normalization term (IBT), and the relevant pair of 1st-order index symbol expressions are:

IBT =

2Aℓ+As(1−e2)=2(1−e2)1/2[sin−1ee];

Aℓ

=

1e2[sin−1ee−(1−e2)1/2](1−e2)1/2;

As =

2e2[(1−e2)−1/2−sin−1ee](1−e2)1/2,

[EFE], Chapter 3, Eq. (36)
[T78], §4.5, Eqs. (48) & (49)

where the eccentricity,

e≡[1−(asaℓ)2]1/2.

The relevant 2nd-order index symbol expressions are:

aℓ2Aℓℓ

=

14e4{−(3+2e2)(1−e2)+3(1−e2)1/2[sin−1ee]};

32aℓ2Ass

=

(4e2−3)e4(1−e2)+3(1−e2)1/2e4[sin−1ee];

aℓ2Aℓs

=

1e4{(3−e2)−3(1−e2)1/2[sin−1ee]}.

We can crosscheck this last expression by drawing on a shortcut expression,

Aℓs

=

−Aℓ−As(aℓ2−as2)

⇒aℓ2Aℓs

=

1e2{As−Aℓ}

 

=

1e2{2e2[(1−e2)−1/2−sin−1ee](1−e2)1/2−1e2[sin−1ee−(1−e2)1/2](1−e2)1/2}

 

=

1e4{[2−2(1−e2)1/2sin−1ee]−[(1−e2)1/2sin−1ee−(1−e2)]}

 

=

1e4{(3−e2)−3(1−e2)1/2sin−1ee}.

Meridional Plane Equi-Potential Contours[edit]

Here, we follow closely our separate discussion of equipotential surfaces for Maclaurin Spheroids, assuming no rotation.

Configuration Surface[edit]

In the meridional (ϖ,z) plane, the surface of this oblate-spheroidal configuration — identified by the thick, solid-black curve below, in Figure 1 — is defined by the expression,

ρρc

=

1−[ϖ2aℓ2+z2as2]=0

⇒ϖ2aℓ2+z2as2

=

1

⇒z2

=

as2[1−ϖ2aℓ2]=aℓ2(1−e2)[1−ϖ2aℓ2]

⇒zaℓ

=

±(1−e2)1/2[1−ϖ2aℓ2]1/2,

        for 0≤|ϖ|aℓ≤1.
Expression for Gravitational Potential[edit]

Throughout the interior of this configuration, each associated Φeff = constant, equipotential surface is defined by the expression,

ϕchoice≡Φgrav(𝐱)(πGρcaℓ2)+12IBT

=

[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+As(z2aℓ2)]−12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)].

Letting,

ζ≡z2aℓ2,

we can rewrite this expression for ϕchoice as,

ϕchoice

=

Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+Asζ−12Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)−12Assaℓ2ζ2−Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2aℓ2)ζ

 

=

−12Assaℓ2ζ2+[As−Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2aℓ2)]ζ+Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)−12Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4).

Potential at the Pole[edit]

At the pole, (ϖ,z)=(0,as). Hence,

ϕchoice|mid

=

−12Assaℓ2(as2aℓ2)2+[As−Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2aℓ2)0](as2aℓ2)+Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)0−12Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)0

 

=

As(as2aℓ2)−12Assaℓ2(as2aℓ2)2.

General Determination of Vertical Coordinate (ζ)[edit]

Given values of the three parameters, e, ϖ, and ϕchoice, this last expression can be viewed as a quadratic equation for ζ. Specifically,

0

=

αζ2+βζ+γ,

where,

α

≡

12Assaℓ2

 

=

13{(4e2−3)e4(1−e2)+3(1−e2)1/2e4[sin−1ee]},

β

≡

Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2aℓ2)−As

 

=

1e4{(3−e2)−3(1−e2)1/2sin−1ee}(ϖ2aℓ2)−2e2[(1−e2)−1/2−sin−1ee](1−e2)1/2,

γ

≡

ϕchoice+12Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)−Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)

 

=

ϕchoice+18e4{−(3+2e2)(1−e2)+3(1−e2)1/2[sin−1ee]}(ϖ4aℓ4)−1e2[sin−1ee−(1−e2)1/2](1−e2)1/2(ϖ2aℓ2).

The solution of this quadratic equation gives,

ζ

=

12α{−β±[β2−4αγ]1/2}.

Should we adopt the superior (positive) sign, or is it more physically reasonable to adopt the inferior (negative) sign? As it turns out, β is intrinsically negative, so the quantity, −β, is positive. Furthermore, when γ goes to zero, we need ζ to go to zero as well. This will only happen if we adopt the inferior (negative) sign. Hence, the physically sensible root of this quadratic relation is given by the expression,

ζ

=

12α{−β−[β2−4αγ]1/2}.


Here we present a quantitatively accurate depiction of the shape of the (Ferrers) gravitational potential that arises from oblate-spheroidal configurations having a parabolic density distribution. We closely follow the discussion of equi-gravitational potential contours that arise in (uniform-density) Maclaurin spheroids. In order to facilitate comparison with Maclaurin spheroids, we will focus on a model with …

asaℓ=0.582724, e=0.81267,  
Aℓ=Am=0.51589042, As=0.96821916, IBT=1.360556,
aℓ2Aℓℓ=0.3287756, aℓ2Ass=1.5066848, aℓ2Aℓs=0.6848975.

[NOTE:   Along the Maclaurin spheroid sequence, this is the eccentricity that marks bifurcation to the Jacobi ellipsoid sequence — see the first model listed in Table IV (p. 103) of [EFE] and/or see Tables 1 and 2 of our discussion of the Jacobi ellipsoid sequence. It is unlikely that this same eccentricity has a comparably special physical relevance along the sequence of spheroids having parabolic density distributions.]

The largest value of the gravitational potential that will arise inside (actually, on the surface) of the configuration is at (ϖ,z)=(1,0). That is, when,

ϕchoice|max

=

Aℓ−12Aℓℓaℓ2=0.3515026.

So we will plot various equipotential surfaces having, 0<ϕchoice<ϕchoice|max, recognizing that they will each cut through the equatorial plane (z=0) at the radial coordinate given by,

ϕchoice

=

−12Assaℓ2ζ20+[As−Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2aℓ2)]ζ0+Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)−12Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)

⇒0

=

12Aℓℓaℓ2χ2−Aℓχ+ϕchoice,

where,

χ≡ϖ2aℓ2.

The solution to this quadratic equation gives,

χeqplane

=

1Aℓℓaℓ2{Aℓ±[Aℓ2−2Aℓℓaℓ2ϕchoice]1/2}

 

=

AℓAℓℓaℓ2{1−[1−2Aℓℓaℓ2ϕchoiceAℓ2]1/2}.

Note that, again, the physically relevant root is obtained by adopting the inferior (negative) sign, as has been done in this last expression.

Equipotential Contours that Lie Entirely Within Configuration[edit]

For all 0<ϕchoice≤ϕchoice|mid, the equipotential contour will reside entirely within the configuration. In this case, for a given ϕchoice, we can plot points along the contour by picking (equally spaced?) values of χeqplane≥χ≥0, then solve the above quadratic equation for the corresponding value of ζ.

In our example configuration, this means … (to be finished)

Hydrostatic Balance (Algebraic Condition)[edit]

Following our separate discussion of the equilibrium structure of Maclaurin spheroids, and given that our solution of the Poisson equation fixes the expression for Φgrav, the algebraic expression ensuring hydrostatic balance is,

H(ϖ,z)

=

CB−[Φgrav(ϖ,z)+Ψ(ϖ,z)],

where, Ψ is the centrifugal potential. NOTE:   Generally when modeling axisymmetric astrophysical systems (see our accompanying discussion of simple rotation profiles) it is assumed that Ψ does not functionally depend on z. Here, our other constraints — for example, demanding that the configuration have a parabolic density distribution — may force us to adopt a z-dependent rotation profile.

Here, we know that the adopted parabolic density distribution gives rise to a gravitational potential of the form,

Φgrav(𝐱)(−πGρcaℓ2)

=

12IBT−[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+As(z2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)].

Hence,

Ψ(ϖ,z)

=

CB−Φgrav(ϖ,z)−H(ϖ,z)

 

=

CB+πGρcaℓ2{12IBT−[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+As(z2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)]}−Hch(ξ1).


We presume that the enthalpy profile, as well as the density profile, can be rewritten in terms of T1 Coordinates. In particular, defining, q≡aℓ/as and,

ξ1

≡

[z2+(ϖq)2]1/2=as[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]1/2

⇒ρρc

=

[1−(ξ1as)2].

Because we expect contours of constant enthalpy (H) to coincide with contours of constant density in equilibrium configurations, we should expect to find that,

HHc

=

h(ξ1).

If the "radial" enthalpy profile resembles our derived spherical enthalpy profile, we should expect to find that,

h(ξ1)

∼

h0[1−h2ξ12−h4ξ14]

⇒1−h(ξ1)h0

∼

h2ξ12+h4ξ14

 

=

h2as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]+h4{as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]}2

 

=

h2as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]+h4as4[(zas)4+2(zas)2(ϖaℓ)2+(ϖaℓ)4]

Adopting this last expression for the enthalpy, we have,

h(ξ1)h0

=

1−h2as2[(zas)2+(ϖaℓ)2]−h4as4[(zas)4+2(zas)2(ϖaℓ)2+(ϖaℓ)4]

 

=

1−h2as2[(ϖaℓ)2+(zaℓ)2(1−e2)−1]−h4as4[(ϖaℓ)4+(zaℓ)4(1−e2)−2+2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)(1−e2)−1].

Hence,

Ψ(ϖ,z)

=

CB+πGρcaℓ2{12IBT−[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+As(z2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)]}

 

 

−Hch0{1−h2as2[(ϖaℓ)2+(zaℓ)2(1−e2)−1]−h4as4[(ϖaℓ)4+(zaℓ)4(1−e2)−2+2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)(1−e2)−1]}.

At the pole of the configuration — that is, when (ϖ,z)=(0,as) — this statement of hydrostatic balance becomes,

Ψ(ϖ,z)

=

CB+πGρcaℓ2{12IBT−[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)0+As(as2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)0+Assaℓ2(as4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ20as2aℓ4)]}

 

 

−Hch0{1−h2as2[(ϖaℓ)20+(asaℓ)2(1−e2)−1]−h4as4[(ϖaℓ)40+(asaℓ)4(1−e2)−2+2(ϖ20as2aℓ4)(1−e2)−1]}

 

=

CB+πGρcaℓ2[12IBT−As(1−e2)+12Assaℓ2(1−e2)2]−Hch0[1−h2as2−h4as4].

For centrally condensed configurations, it is astrophysically reasonable to assume that Ψ(ϖ,z) is of the form such that the centrifugal potential goes to zero when ϖ→0. Adopting that assumption here means that the Bernoulli constant has the value,

CB

=

Hch0[1−h2as2−h4as4]−πGρcaℓ2[12IBT−As(1−e2)+12Assaℓ2(1−e2)2].

Plugging this expression for CB back into the general statement of hydrostatic balance gives,

Ψ(ϖ,z)

=

πGρcaℓ2{12IBT−[Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)+As(z2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)]}

 

 

−πGρcaℓ2[12IBT−As(1−e2)+12Assaℓ2(1−e2)2]

 

 

+Hch0[1−h2as2−h4as4]

=

πGρcaℓ2{[As(1−e2)−Aℓ(ϖ2aℓ2)−As(z2aℓ2)]+12[Aℓℓaℓ2(ϖ4aℓ4)+Assaℓ2(z4aℓ4)+2Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)−Assaℓ2(1−e2)2]}

 

 

+Hch0{h2as2[(ϖaℓ)2+(zaℓ)2(1−e2)−1−1]+h4as4[(ϖaℓ)4+(zaℓ)4(1−e2)−2+2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)(1−e2)−1−1]}

 

=

πGρcaℓ2{As[−AℓAs(ϖ2aℓ2)−(z2aℓ2)+(1−e2)]+Assaℓ22[AℓℓAss(ϖ4aℓ4)+(z4aℓ4)+2AℓsAss(ϖ2z2aℓ4)−(1−e2)2]}

 

 

+Hch0{h2as2(1−e2)−1[(ϖaℓ)2(1−e2)+(zaℓ)2−(1−e2)]+h4as4(1−e2)−2[(ϖaℓ)4(1−e2)2+(zaℓ)4+2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)(1−e2)−(1−e2)2]}

Let's set …

Hch0=πGρcaℓ2;       h2=As(1−e2)as2;       h4=−Assaℓ2(1−e2)22as4.

This gives,

Ψ(ϖ,z)πGρcaℓ2

=

{As[−AℓAs(ϖ2aℓ2)−(z2aℓ2)+(1−e2)]+Assaℓ22[AℓℓAss(ϖ4aℓ4)+(z4aℓ4)+2AℓsAss(ϖ2z2aℓ4)−(1−e2)2]}

=

[As(1−e2)−Aℓ](ϖ2aℓ2)+Aℓℓaℓ22(ϖ4aℓ4)−Assaℓ22[(ϖaℓ)4(1−e2)2]+Aℓsaℓ2(ϖ2z2aℓ4)−Assaℓ2[(ϖ2z2aℓ4)(1−e2)]

 

=

Vertical Component[edit]

We will focus, first, on the vertical component. Specifically, since both ρ and Φgrav are known, the vertical gradient of the (unknown) scalar pressure is

∂P∂z =

−ρ∂∂z{Φgrav}

Multiply thru by 1/(πGρc2aℓ):

where (unlike above) we are using the dimensionless lengths, χ≡ϖ/aℓ and ζ≡z/aℓ. Continuing to streamline this function, we have,

So, let's see what happens if we assume that the pressure has the form,

Pvert(2πGρc2aℓ2) =

p0+p2ζ2+p4ζ4+p6ζ6

⇒1(2πGρc2aℓ2)⋅∂Pvert∂ζ =

2p2ζ+4p4ζ3+6p6ζ5,

in which case,

Pvert(2πGρc2aℓ2) =

p0+12[−As+(Aℓsaℓ2+As)χ2−Aℓsaℓ2χ4]ζ2+14{[As(1−e2)−1+Assaℓ2]−[Assaℓ2+Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1]χ2}ζ4+16[−Assaℓ2(1−e2)−1]ζ6.

And, in the case of the spherically symmetric equilibrium configuration, the pressure distribution derived by 📚 Prasad (1949) has the form,

In the context of rotationally flattened configurations, therefore, we might expect the (vertical) pressure distribution to be of the form,

Determine Specific Angular Momentum Distribution[edit]

Now, from our analysis of the vertical component, we determined that,

12Pvert(2πGρc2aℓ2) =

12p0+6[−As+(Aℓsaℓ2+As)χ2−Aℓsaℓ2χ4]ζ2+3{[As(1−e2)−1+Assaℓ2]−[Assaℓ2+Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1]χ2}ζ4+2[−Assaℓ2(1−e2)−1]ζ6.


The radial derivative of this function is,

[12(2πGρc2aℓ2)]∂Pvert∂χ =

6[2(Aℓsaℓ2+As)ζ2χ−4Aℓsaℓ2ζ2χ3]+6{−[Assaℓ2+Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1]ζ4χ}

[(2Aℓsaℓ2+2As)ζ2−Assaℓ2ζ4−Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1ζ4]χ−4Aℓsaℓ2ζ2χ3.

We hypothesize that,

3rd Try[edit]

From the above, "2nd Try" discussion of the radial component, we can write the following "EXACT!" relation,

EXACT!

−ρρc⋅j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3+[1(πGρc2aℓ2)]∂P∂χ

=

ρρc⋅{[2Aℓsaℓ2ζ2−2Aℓ]χ+2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3}

⇒[1(πGρc2aℓ2)]∂P∂χ

=

ρρc⋅{[2Aℓsaℓ2ζ2−2Aℓ]χ+2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3+j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3}.

Now, our earlier examination of the radial derivative of Pvert suggests that the left-hand-side of this expression should be of the form,

LHS   ≡[1(πGρc2aℓ2)]∂P∂χ

∼

c2ζ2+c4ζ4,

where it is understood that the coefficients, c2 and c4, are both functions of χ. This should be compared with the "EXACT!" expression for the RHS after multiplying through by the expression for the dimensionless density, that is,

RHS

=

[1−χ2−ζ2(1−e2)−1]⋅{[2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3−2Aℓχ+j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3]+2Aℓsaℓ2χζ2}

 

=

(1−χ2)[2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3−2Aℓχ+j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3]+2Aℓsaℓ2χ(1−χ2)ζ2

 

 

−[2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3−2Aℓχ+j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3](1−e2)−1ζ2−2Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1χζ4.

Because we are not expecting to see a term that is independent of ζ, this suggests that the term inside the large square brackets must be zero. This leads to an expression for the distribution of specific angular momentum of the form,

EXCELLENT !!

0

=

[2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3−2Aℓχ+j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3]

⇒j2(πGρcaℓ4)

=

2Aℓχ4−2Aℓℓaℓ2χ6.

According to our accompanying discussion of Simple rotation profiles, the corresponding centrifugal potential is given by the expression,

Ψ

=

−∫j2(ϖ)ϖ3dϖ=−(πGρcaℓ2)∫1χ3[2Aℓχ4−2Aℓℓaℓ2χ6]dχ

⇒Ψ(πGρcaℓ2)

=

−∫[2Aℓχ−2Aℓℓaℓ2χ3]dχ=12[Aℓℓaℓ2χ4−2Aℓχ2].

(Here, we ignore the integration constant because it will be folded in with the Bernoulli constant.)

It also means that the RHS expression simplifies to the form,

RHS

=

2Aℓsaℓ2χ(1−χ2)ζ2−2Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1χζ4.

This should be compared to our earlier examination of the radial derivative of Pvert, namely,

[1(πGρc2aℓ2)]∂Pvert∂χ =

[(2Aℓsaℓ2+2As)ζ2−Assaℓ2ζ4−Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1ζ4]χ−4Aℓsaℓ2ζ2χ3

  =

(2Aℓsaℓ2+2As)χζ2−4Aℓsaℓ2χ3ζ2−[Aℓsaℓ2(1−e2)−1+Assaℓ2]χζ4

4th Try[edit]

In our accompanying discussion of Ferrers Potential, we have derived the expression for the gravitational potential inside (and on the surface of) a triaxial ellipsoid with a parabolic density distribution. Specifically, for

ρ(𝐱)

=

ρc[1−(x2a2+y2b2+z2c2)],

we find,

Φgrav(𝐱)(−πGρc)

=

12IBTa12−(A1x2+A2y2+A3z2)+(A12x2y2+A13x2z2+A23y2z2)+12(A11x4+A22y4+A33z4).

In this same accompanying discussion, we plugged this expression for the gravitational potential into the Poisson equation and demonstrated that it properly generates the expression for the parabolic density distribution. For the axisymmetric configuration being considered here — with the short axis aligned with c=a3=as — these two relations become,

ρ(ϖ,z)ρc

=

[1−(ϖ2aℓ2+z2as2)]=[1−χ2−ζ2(1−e2)−1],

Φgrav(ϖ,z)(−πGρcaℓ2)

=

12IBT−Aℓϖ2aℓ2−Asz2aℓ2+(Aℓsaℓ2)ϖ2z2aℓ4+12(Assaℓ2)z4aℓ4+Aℓℓaℓ22[(x4+2x2y2+y4)aℓ4].

 

=

12IBT−Aℓχ2−Asζ2+12[(Assaℓ2)ζ4+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ2+(Aℓℓaℓ2)χ4].

where, χ≡ϖ/aℓ and ζ≡z/aℓ. (This matches the expression derived above.)



Discuss scalar relationship between the enthalpy (H) and the effective potential.

As has been detailed in an accompanying discussion of solution techniques, a configuration will be in dynamic equilibrium if,

∇[H+Φgrav+Ψ]

=

0

⇒H+Φgrav+Ψ

=

constant =CB

Given that, in our particular case, we have analytic expressions for Φgrav(χ,ζ) and for Ψ(χ,ζ), we deduce that, to within a constant, the enthalpy distribution is given by the expression,

[H(χ,ζ)−CB(πGρcaℓ2)]

=

−Φgrav(πGρcaℓ2)−Ψ(πGρcaℓ2)

 

=

12IBT−Aℓχ2−Asζ2+12[(Assaℓ2)ζ4+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ2+(Aℓℓaℓ2)χ4]−12[Aℓℓaℓ2χ4−2Aℓχ2]

 

=

12IBT−Asζ2+12[(Assaℓ2)ζ4+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ2]

 

=

12IBT−Asζ2+ζ22[(Assaℓ2)ζ2+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2]

Now, according to our related discussion of index symbols,

3Ass =

⇒3Assaℓ2 =

2(1−e2)−1−2Aℓsaℓ2

⇒2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2 =

2(1−e2)−1χ2−3(Assaℓ2)χ2.

Hence,

[H(χ,ζ)−CB(πGρcaℓ2)]−12IBT

=

−Asζ2+ζ22[(Assaℓ2)ζ2+2(1−e2)−1χ2−3(Assaℓ2)χ2]

5th Try[edit]

We should leave untouched the form of the expression for the centrifugal potential, but let its coefficient values remain unspecified. The enthalpy function will therefore remain flexible, and, in tern, so will the components of the pressure gradient. We should adjust these new coefficients in such a way that the gradient of the pressure is everywhere perpendicular to the surface of a constant-density contour; this means that the P-constant contours will be identical to the density-constant contours.

Desired Slopes of Normal Vectors[edit]

A vector that is normal to the surface of a constant-density (oblate-spheroidal) contour has the following components:

∂∂χ[ρ(ϖ,z)ρc]

=

∂∂χ[1−χ2−ζ2(1−e2)−1]=−2χ;

∂∂ζ[ρ(ϖ,z)ρc]

=

∂∂ζ[1−χ2−ζ2(1−e2)−1]=−2ζ(1−e2)−1.

Hence, the slope, m, of this normal vector is,

m={∂∂ζ[ρ(ϖ,z)ρc]}{∂∂χ[ρ(ϖ,z)ρc]}−1

=

−2ζ(1−e2)−1−2χ=ζχ(1−e2).

Now, if the constant-pressure contours are to lie precisely on top of our constant-density contours, the normals have to have the same slopes. This means that,

Euler Equation[edit]

From, for example, here we can write the,

Eulerian Representation
of the Euler Equation,

∂v→∂t+(v→⋅∇)v→=−1ρ∇P−∇Φ

In steady-state, we should set ∂v→/∂t=0. There are various ways of expressing the nonlinear term on the LHS; from here, for example, we find,

(v→⋅∇)v→=12∇(v→⋅v→)−v→×(∇×v→)=12∇(v2)+ζ→×v→,

where,

ζ→≡∇×v→

is commonly referred to as the vorticity.

Axisymmetric Configurations[edit]

From, for example, here, we appreciate that, quite generally, for axisymmetric systems when written in cylindrical coordinates,

(v→⋅∇)v→

=

e^ϖ[vϖ∂vϖ∂ϖ+vz∂vϖ∂z−vφvφϖ]+e^φ[vϖ∂vφ∂ϖ+vz∂vφ∂z+vφvϖϖ]+e^z[vϖ∂vz∂ϖ+vz∂vz∂z].

We seek steady-state configurations for which vϖ=0 and vz=0, in which case this expression simplifies considerably to,

(v→⋅∇)v→

=

e^ϖ[−vφvφϖ]

 

=

e^ϖ[−j2ϖ3],

where, in this last expression we have replaced vφ with the specific angular momentum, j≡ϖvφ=(ϖ2φ˙), which is a conserved quantity in dynamically evolving systems. NOTE:   Up to this point in our discussion, j can be a function of both coordinates, that is, j=j(ϖ,z).

As has been highlighted here for example — for the axisymmetric configurations under consideration — the e^ϖ and e^z components of the Euler equation become, respectively,

e^ϖ:    

−j2ϖ3

=

−[1ρ∂P∂ϖ+∂Φ∂ϖ]

e^z:    

0

=

−[1ρ∂P∂z+∂Φ∂z]

Strategy[edit]

STEP 1:   For the problem being tackled here, we start by recognizing that when considering hydrostatic balance in the e^z direction, we have analytically known expressions for both ρ(ϖ,z) and ∂Φ/∂z. This means, therefore, that we can construct an analytical expression for the vertical component of the pressure gradient, specifically,

∂P∂z

=

−ρ⋅∂Φ∂z.

⇒1(πGρc2aℓ2)⋅∂P∂ζ =

ρρc⋅∂∂ζ{Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)}

STEP 2:   Because we want the meridional-plane, constant-pressure contours to align with the meridional-plane, constant density contours, we can determine the radial component of the pressure gradient by forcing the slope of the tangent vector to match the tangent vector of the density contour.

∂P∂ζ

=

−1m[∂P∂χ]=−χ(1−e2)ζ[∂P∂χ]

⇒1(πGρc2aℓ2)⋅∂P∂χ

=

−ζχ(1−e2)[1(πGρc2aℓ2)⋅∂P∂ζ]

 

=

−ζχ(1−e2){ρρc⋅∂∂ζ[Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)]}.

STEP 3:   Via the radial component of the hydrostatic balance expression, we can determine analytically the distribution of specific angular momentum.

j2ϖ3

=

[1ρ∂P∂ϖ+∂Φ∂ϖ]

⇒j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3

=

(ρρc)−1[1(πGρc2aℓ2)]∂P∂χ−∂∂χ{Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)}

STEP 4:   From knowledge of both components of ∇P, see if the expression for the pressure can be ascertained.

Implication[edit]

Hence,

j2(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ3

=

−ζχ(1−e2)⋅∂∂ζ[Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)]−∂∂χ{Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)}.

Now, given that,

Φgrav(ϖ,z)(−πGρcaℓ2)

=

12IBT−Aℓχ2−Asζ2+12[(Assaℓ2)ζ4+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ2+(Aℓℓaℓ2)χ4],

we see that the pair of partial derivative expressions are:

∂∂ζ[Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)]

=

2[(Assaℓ2)ζ3+(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ−Asζ];

∂∂χ[Φgrav(−πGρcaℓ2)]

=

2[(Aℓℓaℓ2)χ3+(Aℓsaℓ2)χζ2−Aℓχ].

As a result we find,

j2(1−e2)(πGρcaℓ4)⋅1χ2

=

Example Evaluation[edit]

Let's evaluate these expressions, borrowing from the quantitative example specified above. Specifically, we choose,

asaℓ=0.582724, e=0.81267,  
Aℓ=Am=0.51589042, As=0.96821916, IBT=23Υ=1.360556,
aℓ2Aℓℓ=0.3287756, aℓ2Ass=1.5066848, aℓ2Aℓs=0.6848975.

Also, let's set ρ/ρc=0.1 and χ=χ1=0.75⇒χ12=0.5625. This means that,

ζ12

=

(1−e2)[1−χ2−ρ(χ,ζ)ρc]=[1−(0.81267)2)][1−0.5625−0.1]=0.11460

Replace ζ With Normalized Density[edit]

First, let's readjust the last, 3-row expression for the gravitational potential so that ζ2 can be readily replaced with the normalized density.

Φgrav(χ,ζ)(−πGρcaℓ2)

=

13Υ−(Υ−3)3e2(χ2−2ζ2)+4(1−e2)3e2{[(1−e2)−1ζ2−χ2][(1−e2)−1ζ2+14χ2]}

−χ2+124e4{2e2(1−e2)+39(1−e2)−13Υ}χ4.

Now make the substitution,

ζ2

=

(1−e2)[1−χ2−ρ*],

where,

ρ*

≡

ρ(χ,ζ)ρc.

We have,

Φgrav(χ,ζ)(−πGρcaℓ2)
