The rescaled potential vorticity equation #
eq:aniso:zoom:finite:equation is the equation satisfied by the rescaled potential
vorticity Ω_n = zoomOmega = lam³ δ Ω of eq:aniso:zoom:fields in the zoomed variables
((R, Z), τ) of eq:aniso:zoom:finite:variables, with δ = lam ^ (2h) and
μ = lam ^ (1 - 2h), so that δ μ = lam.
It is lam⁵ δ times the potential vorticity equation eq:aniso:q of
CIV.potential_vorticity_pde, evaluated at the zoom point. Term by term, using the chain
rules ∂_R = lam ∂_r, ∂_Z = μ ∂_z, ∂_τ = lam² ∂_t of CIV.Zoom.ScalarChainRule:
∂_τ Ω_n = lam² · lam³δ ∂_tΩ = lam⁵δ ∂_tΩ;V_n ∂_R Ω_n = (lam u_r)(lam · lam³δ ∂_rΩ) = lam⁵δ u_r ∂_rΩ;W_n ∂_Z Ω_n = (lam δ u_z)(μ lam³δ ∂_zΩ) = lam⁴δ²μ u_z ∂_zΩ = lam⁵δ u_z ∂_zΩ;∂_RR Ω_n = lam² lam³δ ∂_rrΩ = lam⁵δ ∂_rrΩand(3/R) ∂_R Ω_n = lam⁵δ (3/r) ∂_rΩ, the second because the zoomed radius satisfiesr = lam R;δ² ∂_ZZ Ω_n = δ²μ² lam³δ ∂_zzΩ = lam⁵δ ∂_zzΩ;∂_Z (S_n²/R²) = lam⁵δ ∂_z (u_θ²/r²), sinceS_n²/R² = lam⁴δ² (u_θ²/r²) ∘ zoomPoint;- the force term is
lam⁵δtimes the potential vorticity off.
Away from the axis Ω = ω_θ / r is the smooth quotient of the smooth azimuthal vorticity
by the radius, so every chain rule is applied on the open off-axis part
D = {z ∈ unitCylinder | z₁ ≠ 0} of the cylinder rather than on unitCylinder itself:
Ω is merely continuous across the axis.
The rescaled potential vorticity equation eq:aniso:zoom:finite:equation: at a zoomed
point off the axis whose image lies in the unit cylinder, the rescaled potential vorticity
Ω_n of a classical, forced, axisymmetric solution is transported by (V_n, W_n) against
the anisotropic diffusion ∂_RR + 3R⁻¹∂_R + δ²∂_ZZ, the rescaled swirl source
∂_Z (S_n²/R²) and lam⁵δ times the potential vorticity of the force. It is lam⁵δ
times CIV.potential_vorticity_pde at the zoom point.
