Axisymmetric (Oblate) Equilibrium Structures

Gravitational Potential

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

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

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

Configuration Surface

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

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

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)

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

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)

Euler Equation

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

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:

where,

=

(3−e2)−e4(Aℓsaℓ2).

we obtain the pair of relations,

Example Evaluation

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

⇒ζ1

=

0.33853.

So, let's evaluate the gravitational potential …

Φgrav(χ1,ζ1)(−πGρcaℓ2)

=

12IBT−[Aℓχ2+Asζ2⏞TERM2]+12[(Assaℓ2)ζ4+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ2+(Aℓℓaℓ2)χ4⏟TERM1]=0.385187372

TERM1

=

0.019788921+0.088303509+0.104026655=0.212119085

TERM2

=

0.290188361+0.110961809=0.401150171.

Replace ζ With Normalized Density

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]}

 

 

−(1−e2)e4{[(1−e2)−1ζ2−χ2][(1−e2)−1ζ2−2χ2]}+Υ3e4[(ζ2−χ2)(ζ2−2χ2)]

 

 

−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)

=

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

 

 

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

 

 

−χ2+124e4{2e2(1−e2)+39(1−e2)−13Υ}χ4

 

=

13Υ−(Υ−3)3e2{−2+2e2+(3−2e2)χ2+(2−2e2)ρ*}+4(1−e2)3e2{1−2χ2−ρ*}{1−34χ2−ρ*}

 

 

−(1−e2)e4{1−2χ2−ρ*}{1−3χ2−ρ*}+Υ3e4{(1−e2)−(2−e2)χ2−(1−e2)ρ*}{(1−e2)−(3−e2)χ2−(1−e2)ρ*}

 

 

−χ2+124e4{39−37e2−2e4−13Υ}χ4

13Υ−(Υ−3)3e2{−2+3χ2+2ρ*+2e2[1−χ2−ρ*]}+4(1−e2)3e2{1−2χ2−ρ*}{1−34χ2−ρ*}

=

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.

Complete the Square

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

[]RHS

≡

[(Assaℓ2)ζ4+2(Aℓsaℓ2)χ2ζ2+(Aℓℓaℓ2)χ4],

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

[]RHS

=

[(Assaℓ2)1/2ζ2+Bχ2][(Assaℓ2)1/2ζ2+Cχ2]

 

=

(Assaℓ2)ζ4+(Assaℓ2)1/2(B+C)ζ2χ2+BCχ4,

we see that we must have,

(Assaℓ2)1/2(B+C)

=

2(Aℓsaℓ2)

⇒B

=

2(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2−C;

and we must also have,

BC

=

(Aℓℓaℓ2)

⇒B

=

(Aℓℓaℓ2)C.

Hence,

(Aℓℓaℓ2)C

=

2(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2−C

⇒0

=

C2−2[(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2]C+(Aℓℓaℓ2).

The pair of roots of this quadratic expression are,

C±

=

[(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2]±12{4[(Aℓsaℓ2)2(Assaℓ2)]−4(Aℓℓaℓ2)}1/2

 

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2{1±[1−(Assaℓ2)(Aℓℓaℓ2)(Aℓsaℓ2)2]1/2}

⇒C±(Assaℓ2)1/2

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2){1±[1−(Assaℓ2)(Aℓℓaℓ2)(Aℓsaℓ2)2]1/2}.

Also, then,

B±(Assaℓ2)1/2

=

2(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)−C±(Assaℓ2)1/2

 

=

2(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)−(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2){1±[1−(Assaℓ2)(Aℓℓaℓ2)(Aℓsaℓ2)2]1/2}

 

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2){1∓[1−(Assaℓ2)(Aℓℓaℓ2)(Aℓsaℓ2)2]1/2}.

NOTE: Given that,

(Assaℓ2)

=

23(1−e2)−23(Aℓsaℓ2)

      and,      

(Aℓℓaℓ2)

=

12−14(Aℓsaℓ2),

we can write,

Lambda vs Eccentricity

Λ≡(Assaℓ2)(Aℓℓaℓ2)(Aℓsaℓ2)2

=

16(Aℓsaℓ2)2{1(1−e2)[2−(Aℓsaℓ2)]−(Aℓsaℓ2)[2−(Aℓsaℓ2)]}

 

=

16(Aℓsaℓ2)2{[1(1−e2)−(Aℓsaℓ2)][2−(Aℓsaℓ2)]}

In summary, then, we can write,

B±(Assaℓ2)1/2

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)[1∓(1−Λ)1/2]

      and,      

C±(Assaℓ2)1/2

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)[1±(1−Λ)1/2],

where, as illustrated by the inset "Lambda vs Eccentricity" plot, for all values of the eccentricity (0<e≤1), 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)±

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)2(Assaℓ2)[1−(1−Λ)1/2][1+(1−Λ)1/2]=(Aℓsaℓ2)2(Assaℓ2)[Λ]=(Aℓℓaℓ2),

(B+C)±

=

(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2[1∓(1−Λ)1/2]+(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2[1±(1−Λ)1/2]=2(Aℓsaℓ2)(Assaℓ2)1/2,

both of which are real.

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(πGρc2aℓ2)]∫[∂P∂ζ]dζ =

[−Asζ2+12Assaℓ2ζ4+12(1−e2)−1Asζ4−13(1−e2)−1Assaℓ2ζ6]χ0+[Aℓsaℓ2ζ2+Asζ2−12Assaℓ2ζ4−12(1−e2)−1(Aℓsaℓ2ζ4)]χ2+[−Aℓsaℓ2ζ2]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(πGρc2aℓ2)]∫[∂P∂ζ]dζ}χ=0 =

Pc*−Asζ2+12Assaℓ2ζ4+12(1−e2)−1Asζ4−13(1−e2)−1Assaℓ2ζ6.

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

Pc* =

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

{[1(πGρc2aℓ2)]∂P∂ζ}χ=0 =

[1−χ20−ζ2(1−e2)−1]⋅[2Aℓsaℓ2ζχ20−2Asζ+2Assaℓ2ζ3]

  =

[−2Asζ+2Assaℓ2ζ3]+ζ2(1−e2)−1[2Asζ−2Assaℓ2ζ3]

Yes! The expressions match!

Shift to ξ1 Coordinate

In an accompanying chapter, we defined the coordinate,

(ξ1as)2 ≡

(ϖaℓ)2+(zas)2=χ2+ζ2(1−e2)−1.

Given that we want the pressure to be constant on ξ1 surfaces, it seems plausible that ζ2 should be replaced by (1−e2)(ξ1/as)2=[(1−e2)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,
