Axisymmetric (Oblate) Equilibrium Structures[edit]

Gravitational Potential[edit]

As we have detailed in an accompanying discussion, for an oblate-spheroidal configuration — that is, when as<am=a — 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)

=

12IBTa2[A(x2+y2)+Asz2]+[Ax2y2+Asx2z2+Asy2z2]+16[3Ax4+3Ay4+3Assz4]

 

=

12IBTa2[Aϖ2+Asz2]+[Ax2y2+Asϖ2z2]+12[A(x4+y4)+Assz4]

 

=

12IBTa2[Aϖ2+Asz2]+A2[(x2+y2)2]+12[Assz4]+[Asϖ2z2]

 

=

12IBTa2[Aϖ2+Asz2]+A2[ϖ4]+12[Assz4]+[Asϖ2z2]

Φgrav(𝐱)(πGρca2)

=

12IBT[A(ϖ2a2)+As(z2a2)]+12[Aa2(ϖ4a4)+Assa2(z4a4)+2Asa2(ϖ2z2a4)].

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 =

2A+As(1e2)=2(1e2)1/2[sin1ee];

A

=

1e2[sin1ee(1e2)1/2](1e2)1/2;

As =

2e2[(1e2)1/2sin1ee](1e2)1/2,

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

where the eccentricity,

e[1(asa)2]1/2.

The relevant 2nd-order index symbol expressions are:

a2A

=

14e4{(3+2e2)(1e2)+3(1e2)1/2[sin1ee]};

32a2Ass

=

(4e23)e4(1e2)+3(1e2)1/2e4[sin1ee];

a2As

=

1e4{(3e2)3(1e2)1/2[sin1ee]}.

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

As

=

AAs(a2as2)

a2As

=

1e2{AsA}

 

=

1e2{2e2[(1e2)1/2sin1ee](1e2)1/21e2[sin1ee(1e2)1/2](1e2)1/2}

 

=

1e4{[22(1e2)1/2sin1ee][(1e2)1/2sin1ee(1e2)]}

 

=

1e4{(3e2)3(1e2)1/2sin1ee}.

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[ϖ2a2+z2as2]=0

ϖ2a2+z2as2

=

1

z2

=

as2[1ϖ2a2]=a2(1e2)[1ϖ2a2]

za

=

±(1e2)1/2[1ϖ2a2]1/2,

        for 0|ϖ|a1.
Expression for Gravitational Potential[edit]

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

ϕchoiceΦgrav(𝐱)(πGρca2)+12IBT

=

[A(ϖ2a2)+As(z2a2)]12[Aa2(ϖ4a4)+Assa2(z4a4)+2Asa2(ϖ2z2a4)].

Letting,

ζz2a2,

we can rewrite this expression for ϕchoice as,

ϕchoice

=

A(ϖ2a2)+Asζ12Aa2(ϖ4a4)12Assa2ζ2Asa2(ϖ2a2)ζ

 

=

12Assa2ζ2+[AsAsa2(ϖ2a2)]ζ+A(ϖ2a2)12Aa2(ϖ4a4).

Potential at the Pole[edit]

At the pole, (ϖ,z)=(0,as). Hence,

ϕchoice|mid

=

12Assa2(as2a2)2+[AsAsa2(ϖ2a2)0](as2a2)+A(ϖ2a2)012Aa2(ϖ4a4)0

 

=

As(as2a2)12Assa2(as2a2)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

12Assa2

 

=

13{(4e23)e4(1e2)+3(1e2)1/2e4[sin1ee]},

β

Asa2(ϖ2a2)As

 

=

1e4{(3e2)3(1e2)1/2sin1ee}(ϖ2a2)2e2[(1e2)1/2sin1ee](1e2)1/2,

γ

ϕchoice+12Aa2(ϖ4a4)A(ϖ2a2)

 

=

ϕchoice+18e4{(3+2e2)(1e2)+3(1e2)1/2[sin1ee]}(ϖ4a4)1e2[sin1ee(1e2)1/2](1e2)1/2(ϖ2a2).

The solution of this quadratic equation gives,

ζ

=

12α{β±[β24αγ]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[β24αγ]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 …

asa=0.582724, e=0.81267,  
A=Am=0.51589042, As=0.96821916, IBT=1.360556,
a2A=0.3287756, a2Ass=1.5066848, a2As=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

=

A12Aa2=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

=

12Assa2ζ20+[AsAsa2(ϖ2a2)]ζ0+A(ϖ2a2)12Aa2(ϖ4a4)

0

=

12Aa2χ2Aχ+ϕchoice,

where,

χϖ2a2.

The solution to this quadratic equation gives,

χeqplane

=

1Aa2{A±[A22Aa2ϕchoice]1/2}

 

=

AAa2{1[12Aa2ϕchoiceA2]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<ϕchoiceϕchoice|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 χeqplaneχ0, then solve the above quadratic equation for the corresponding value of ζ.

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

6th Try[edit]

Euler Equation[edit]

From, for example, here we can write the,

Eulerian Representation
of the Euler Equation,

vt+(v)v=1ρPΦ

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(vv)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[vϖvϖϖ+vzvϖzvφvφϖ]+e^φ[vϖvφϖ+vzvφz+vφvϖϖ]+e^z[vϖvzϖ+vzvzz].

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, jϖvφ=(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

=

[1ρPϖ+Φϖ]

e^z:

=

0.767874 (row 1) + 0.5678833 (row 2) - 0.950574 (row 3) = 0.3851876  .

Example Evaluation[edit]

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

asa=0.582724, e=0.81267,  
A=Am=0.51589042, As=0.96821916, IBT=23Υ=1.360556,
a2A=0.3287756, a2Ass=1.5066848, a2As=0.6848975.

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

ζ12

=

(1e2)[1χ2ρ(χ,ζ)ρc]=[1(0.81267)2)][10.56250.1]=0.11460

ζ1

=

0.33853.

So, let's evaluate the gravitational potential …

Φgrav(χ1,ζ1)(πGρca2)

=

12IBT[Aχ2+Asζ2TERM2]+12[(Assa2)ζ4+2(Asa2)χ2ζ2+(Aa2)χ4TERM1]=0.385187372

TERM1

=

0.019788921+0.088303509+0.104026655=0.212119085

TERM2

=

0.290188361+0.110961809=0.401150171.

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)(πGρca2)

=

13Υ(Υ3)3e2(χ22ζ2)+4(1e2)3e2{[(1e2)1ζ2χ2][(1e2)1ζ2+14χ2]}

 

 

(1e2)e4{[(1e2)1ζ2χ2][(1e2)1ζ22χ2]}+Υ3e4[(ζ2χ2)(ζ22χ2)]

 

 

χ2+124e4{2e2(1e2)+39(1e2)13Υ}χ4.

Now make the substitution,

ζ2

=

(1e2)[1χ2ρ*],

where,

ρ*

ρ(χ,ζ)ρc.

We have,

Φgrav(χ,ζ)(πGρca2)

=

13Υ(Υ3)3e2{χ22(1e2)[1χ2ρ*]}+4(1e2)3e2{[1χ2ρ*]χ2}{[1χ2ρ*]+14χ2}

 

 

(1e2)e4{[1χ2ρ*]χ2}{[1χ2ρ*]2χ2}+Υ3e4{(1e2)[1χ2ρ*]χ2}{(1e2)[1χ2ρ*]2χ2}

 

 

χ2+124e4{2e2(1e2)+39(1e2)13Υ}χ4

 

=

13Υ(Υ3)3e2{2+2e2+(32e2)χ2+(22e2)ρ*}+4(1e2)3e2{12χ2ρ*}{134χ2ρ*}

 

 

(1e2)e4{12χ2ρ*}{13χ2ρ*}+Υ3e4{(1e2)(2e2)χ2(1e2)ρ*}{(1e2)(3e2)χ2(1e2)ρ*}

 

 

χ2+124e4{3937e22e413Υ}χ4

 

=

13Υ(Υ3)3e2{2+3χ2+2ρ*+2e2[1χ2ρ*]}+4(1e2)3e2{12χ2ρ*}{134χ2ρ*}

 

 

(1e2)e4{12χ2ρ*}{13χ2ρ*}+{Υ3e4[12χ2ρ*]+Υ3e2[1+χ2+ρ*]}{(1e2)(3e2)χ2(1e2)ρ*}

 

 

χ2+124e4{3937e22e413Υ}χ4.

 

=

0.767874 (row 1) + 0.5678833 (row 2) - 0.950574 (row 3) = 0.3851876  .

Now, let's group together like terms and examine, in particular, whether the coefficient of the cross-product, χ2ρ*), goes to zero.

Φgrav(χ,ζ)(πGρca2)

=

13Υ(Υ3)3e2{2e22+(22e2)ρ*}

Again, let's rewrite the term inside square brackets on the RHS of the expression for the gravitational potential,

[]RHS

[(Assa2)ζ4+2(Asa2)χ2ζ2+(Aa2)χ4],

in such a way that we effectively "complete the square." Assuming that the desired expression takes the form,

[]RHS

=

[(Assa2)1/2ζ2+Bχ2][(Assa2)1/2ζ2+Cχ2]

 

=

(Assa2)ζ4+(Assa2)1/2(B+C)ζ2χ2+BCχ4,

we see that we must have,

(Assa2)1/2(B+C)

=

2(Asa2)

B

=

2(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2C;

and we must also have,

BC

=

(Aa2)

B

=

(Aa2)C.

Hence,

(Aa2)C

=

2(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2C

0

=

C22[(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2]C+(Aa2).

The pair of roots of this quadratic expression are,

C±

=

[(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2]±12{4[(Asa2)2(Assa2)]4(Aa2)}1/2

 

=

(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2{1±[1(Assa2)(Aa2)(Asa2)2]1/2}

C±(Assa2)1/2

=

(Asa2)(Assa2){1±[1(Assa2)(Aa2)(Asa2)2]1/2}.

Also, then,

B±(Assa2)1/2

=

2(Asa2)(Assa2)C±(Assa2)1/2

 

=

2(Asa2)(Assa2)(Asa2)(Assa2){1±[1(Assa2)(Aa2)(Asa2)2]1/2}

 

=

(Asa2)(Assa2){1[1(Assa2)(Aa2)(Asa2)2]1/2}.

NOTE: Given that,

(Assa2)

=

23(1e2)23(Asa2)

      and,      

(Aa2)

=

1214(Asa2),

we can write,

Lambda vs Eccentricity
Lambda vs Eccentricity

Λ(Assa2)(Aa2)(Asa2)2

=

1(Asa2)2{[23(1e2)23(Asa2)][1214(Asa2)]}

 

=

16(Asa2)2{1(1e2)[2(Asa2)](Asa2)[2(Asa2)]}

 

=

16(Asa2)2{[1(1e2)(Asa2)][2(Asa2)]}

In summary, then, we can write,

B±(Assa2)1/2

=

(Asa2)(Assa2)[1(1Λ)1/2]

      and,      

C±(Assa2)1/2

=

(Asa2)(Assa2)[1±(1Λ)1/2],

where, as illustrated by the inset "Lambda vs Eccentricity" plot, for all values of the eccentricity (0<e1), the quantity, Λ, is greater than unity. It is clear, then, that both roots of the relevant quadratic equation are complex — i.e., they have imaginary components. But that's okay because the coefficients that appear in the right-hand-side, bracketed quartic expression appear in the combinations,

(BC)±

=

(Asa2)2(Assa2)[1(1Λ)1/2][1+(1Λ)1/2]=(Asa2)2(Assa2)[Λ]=(Aa2),

(B+C)±

=

(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2[1(1Λ)1/2]+(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2[1±(1Λ)1/2]=2(Asa2)(Assa2)1/2,

both of which are real.

Vertical Pressure Gradient: [1(πGρc2a2)]Pζ =

ρρc[2Asa2χ2ζ2Asζ+2Assa2ζ3]

From the above (9th Try) examination of the vertical pressure gradient, we determined that a reasonably good approximation for the normalized pressure throughout the configuration is given by the expression,

[1(πGρc2a2)][Pζ]dζ =

[Asζ2+12Assa2ζ4+12(1e2)1Asζ413(1e2)1Assa2ζ6]χ0+[Asa2ζ2+Asζ212Assa2ζ412(1e2)1(Asa2ζ4)]χ2+[Asa2ζ2]χ4+const.

If we set χ=0 — that is, if we look along the vertical axis — this approximation should be particularly good, resulting in the expression,

Pz{[1(πGρc2a2)][Pζ]dζ}χ=0 =

Pc*Asζ2+12Assa2ζ4+12(1e2)1Asζ413(1e2)1Assa2ζ6.

Note that in the limit that zas — that is, at the pole along the vertical (symmetry) axis where the Pz should drop to zero — we should set ζ(1e2)1/2. This allows us to determine the central pressure.

Pc* =

As(1e2)12Assa2(1e2)212(1e2)1As(1e2)2+13(1e2)1Assa2(1e2)3

  =

As(1e2)12As(1e2)+13Assa2(1e2)212Assa2(1e2)2

  =

12As(1e2)16Assa2(1e2)2.

This means that, along the vertical axis, the pressure gradient is,

Pz{[1(πGρc2a2)][Pζ]dζ}χ=0 =

Pc*Asζ2+12Assa2ζ4+12(1e2)1Asζ413(1e2)1Assa2ζ6.

Pzζ =

2Asζ+2Assa2ζ3+2(1e2)1Asζ32(1e2)1Assa2ζ5.

This should match the more general "vertical pressure gradient" expression when we set, χ=0, that is,

{[1(πGρc2a2)]Pζ}χ=0 =

[1χ20ζ2(1e2)1][2Asa2ζχ202Asζ+2Assa2ζ3]

  =

[2Asζ+2Assa2ζ3]+ζ2(1e2)1[2Asζ2Assa2ζ3]

Yes! The expressions match!

Shift to ξ1 Coordinate[edit]

In an accompanying chapter, we defined the coordinate,

(ξ1as)2

(ϖa)2+(zas)2=χ2+ζ2(1e2)1.

Given that we want the pressure to be constant on ξ1 surfaces, it seems plausible that ζ2 should be replaced by (1e2)(ξ1/as)2=[(1e2)χ2+ζ2] in the expression for Pz. That is, we might expect the expression for the pressure at any point in the meridional plane to be,

Alternatively:   according to the third term, we need to set,

6p3 =

4[(4e23)+Υ]

Υ =

32p3+(34e2)

in which case, the first coefficient must be given by the expression,

[(3e2)Υ] =

(3e2)32p3+(4e23)]=[3e232p3].

And, from the second coefficient, we find,

2(2p2+3p3) =

2p2 =

Note:   according to the first term, we need to set,

in which case, the third coefficient must be given by the expression,

Better yet, try …

Ptest03Pc =

p2(ρρc)2[1β(1ρρc)]=p2(ρρc)2[(1β)+β(ρρc)]

ζ[Ptest03Pc] =

where, in the case of a spherically symmetric parabolic-density configuration, β=1/2. Well … this wasn't a bad idea, but as it turns out, this "test03" expression is no different from the "test02" guess. Specifically, the "test03" expression can be rewritten as,

Ptest03Pc =

p2(1β)(ρρc)2+p2β(ρρc)3,

which has the same form as the "test02" expression.

Test04[edit]

From above, we understand that, analytically,

[1(πGρc2a2)]Pζ =

(ρρc)(1e2)2{6[e4(Assa2)+23e2Υ]χ2ζ(1e2)2[2e4(Asa2)+3e4(Assa2)](1e2)ζ+6[e4(Assa2)+23e2Υ]ζ3}




Here (test04), we add a term that is linear in the normalized density, which means,

Ptest04Pc =

Ptest02Pc+p1(ρρc)

ζ[Ptest04Pc] =

ζ[Ptest02Pc]+ζ[p1(ρρc)]=ζ[Ptest02Pc]+p1ζ[1χ2ζ2(1e2)1]
