Euler Equation

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

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,

Introduction

Density:

ρ(χ,ζ)ρc

=

[1χ2ζ2(1e2)1],

Gravitational Potential:

Φgrav(χ,ζ)(πGρca2)

=

12IBTAχ2Asζ2+12[(Assa2)ζ4+2(Asa2)χ2ζ2+(Aa2)χ4].

Specific Angular Momentum:

j2(πGρca4)1χ3

=

2j1χ2j3χ3.

Centrifugal Potential:

Ψ(πGρca2)

=

12[j3χ42j1χ2].

From above, we recall the following relations:

4e4(Aa2)

=

(3+2e2)(1e2)+Υ;

32e4(Assa2)

=

(4e23)(1e2)+Υ;

e4(Asa2)

=

(3e2)Υ.

where,

Υ

3(1e2)1/2[sin1ee].

Crosscheck … Given that,

Υ

=

(3e2)e4(Asa2).

we obtain the pair of relations,

4e4(Aa2)

=

(3+2e2)(1e2)+(3e2)e4(Asa2)

 

=

(33e2+2e22e4)+(3e2)e4(Asa2)

 

=

2e4e4(Asa2)

(Aa2)

=

1214(Asa2);

32e4(Assa2)

=

(4e23)(1e2)+(3e2)e4(Asa2)

 

=

(4e23)+(3e2)(1e2)(1e2)e4(Asa2)

 

=

e4(1e2)e4(Asa2)

(Assa2)

=

23[1(1e2)(Asa2)].

RHS Square Brackets (TERM1)

Let's rewrite the term inside square brackets on the RHS of the expression for the gravitational potential.

+2e43[(ζ2χ2)(ζ22χ2)138χ40.061608]Υ

0.212119014       (example #1, below) .

Check #1:

(ζ2χ2)(ζ22χ2)138χ4

=

ζ43χ2ζ2+2χ4138χ4

 

=

ζ43χ2ζ2+38χ4.

(ζ2χ2)(ζ2+14χ2)+116χ4

=

ζ434χ2ζ214χ4+116χ4

RHS Quadratic Terms (TERM2)

The quadratic terms on the RHS can be rewritten as,

Aχ2+Asζ2 =

{1e2[sin1ee(1e2)1/2](1e2)1/2}χ2+{2e2[(1e2)1/2sin1ee](1e2)1/2}ζ2

  =

{1e2[(1e2)1/2sin1ee(1e2)]}χ2+{2e2[1(1e2)1/2sin1ee]}ζ2

  =

{13e2[Υ3(1e2)]}χ2+{23e2[3Υ]}ζ2

  =

(Υ3)3e2[χ22ζ2]+χ2

  =

(Υ3)3e2(χ+2ζ)(χ2ζ)+χ2

TERM2 =

0.401150 (example #1, below) .

where, again,

Υ

3(1e2)1/2[sin1ee]=2.040835.

Gravitational Potential Rewritten

In summary, then,

Φgrav(χ,ζ)(πGρca2)

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

 

 

χ2+{(1e2)12e2+13(1e2)8e413Υ24e4}χ4.

 

=

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

Example Evaluation

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

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*}

 

 

+[12χ2ρ*]{4(1e2)3e2[134χ2ρ*](1e2)e4[13χ2ρ*]+[Υ3e4Υ3e2][(1e2)(3e2)χ2(1e2)ρ*]}

Complete the Square

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.

Repeating Key Relations

Density:

ρ(ϖ,z)ρc

=

[1χ2ζ2(1e2)1],

Gravitational Potential:

Φgrav(ϖ,z)(πGρca2)

=

12IBTAχ2Asζ2+12[(Assa2)ζ4+2(Asa2)χ2ζ2+(Aa2)χ4].

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

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,

Compare Vertical Pressure Gradient Expressions

From our above (9th try) derivation we know that the vertical pressure gradient is given by the expression,

[1(πGρc2a2)]Pζ =

[1χ2ζ2(1e2)1][2Asa2χ2ζ2Asζ+2Assa2ζ3]

  =

[(2Asa2χ22As)(2Asa2χ42Asχ2)]ζ+[2Assa22Assa2χ2(1e2)1(2Asa2χ22As)]ζ3+[(1e2)12Assa2]ζ5.

By comparison, the vertical derivative of our "test01" pressure expression gives,

Ptest01 =

Compare the term inside the curly braces with the term, from the beginning of this subsection, inside the square brackets, namely,

  =

13e4(1e2){6[(3e2)Υ](1e2)χ2ζ[12e2(113Υ)](1e2)ζ+4[(4e23)+Υ]ζ3}.

Pretty Close!!

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) =

[12e2(113Υ)]

2p2 =

2e2(3Υ)3p3

 

=

3p3+6e22e2[32p3+(34e2)]

 

=

or,

=

4e4[4e23+4e43e2](1+e2)Υ

p3 =

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

p3 =

[(3e2)Υ]

Υ =

[(3e2)p3],

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

4[(4e23)+Υ] =

4[(4e23)+(3e2)p3]=4[3e2p3].

And, from the second coefficient, we find,

2(2p2+3p3) =

2p2 =

2e2(3Υ)3p3

 

=

2e2[3[(3e2)p3]]3p3

Better yet, try …

Ptest03Pc =

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

From above, we understand that, analytically,

[1(πGρc2a2)]Pζ =

[1χ2ζ2(1e2)1][2Asa2χ2ζ2Asζ+2Assa2ζ3]

  =

[(2Asa2χ22As)(2Asa2χ42Asχ2)]ζ+[2Assa22Assa2χ2(1e2)1(2Asa2χ22As)]ζ3+[(1e2)12Assa2]ζ5

Also from above, we have shown that if,

Ptest02Pc =

p2(ρρc)2+p3(ρρc)3

SUMMARY from test02:

p2

=

3e2(1+e2)Υ=e4(Asa2)e2Υ,

p3 =

23[(4e23)+Υ]=e4(Assa2)+23e2Υ.

ζ[Ptest02Pc] =

(ρρc)(1e2)2{6p3χ2ζ(1e2)2(2p2+3p3)(1e2)ζ+6p3ζ3}

  =

(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]
