Numerical results show that these vortices propagate into the fluid bulk and generate an azimuthal mean flow. Direct numerical simulations of the fluid flow in an annular container with librating outer (inner) cylinder side wall and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations as diagnostic equations are used to investigate generation mechanism of the retrograde (prograde) azimuthal mean flow in the bulk. First, we explain, phenomenologically, how absolute angular momentum of the bulk flow is mixed and changed due to the propagation of the G{\"o}rtler vortices, causing a new vortex of basin size. Then we investigate the RANS equations for intermediate time scale of the development of the G{\"o}rtler vortices and for long time scale of the order of several libration periods. The former exhibits sign selection of the azimuthal mean flow. Investigating the latter, we predict that the azimuthal mean flow is proportional to the libration amplitude squared and to the inverse square root of the Ekman number and libration frequency and then confirms this using the numerical data. Additionally, presence of an upscale cascade of energy is shown, using the kinetic energy budget of fluctuating flow.}, language = {en} } @misc{WillHarlanderMetz, author = {Will, Andreas and Harlander, Uwe and Metz, Werner}, title = {Climatological relevance of leading seasonal singular vectors.

Using 40 DJF basic flows RWT modes are found over four regions of the globe only. Their propagation paths are remarkably constant for development times up to 96 h, but spread for longer times. The RWT mode with the largest 4 day growth rate develops over the North-Pacific (NPAC) region for each of the observed DJF basic flows considered. This mode is referred to as NPAC-mode. The eigenvalues, which are the 4 day kinetic energy growth factors of the NPAC mode, range from 10 to 24 for nearly all of the basic flows. In some exceptional years they are close to 30. The NPAC modes with moderate growth factors could be shown to be approximate solutions of the nonlinear model equation. Hereto a new formulation of the advection term provided by the energy-vortex theory was used. It appears that the constancy of propagation paths and the mode's shapes, the large growth factors and the validity of the linearization assumption up to development times of 96h make the NPAC mode a candidate to explain substantial parts of large scale interannual atmospheric variability in the North Pacific region.}, language = {en} } @misc{VinczeBorciaHarlander, author = {Vincze, Mikl{\´o}s and Borcia, Ion-Dan and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {Temperature fluctuations in a changing climate: an ensemble-based experimental approach}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {7}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, issn = {2045-2322}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-017-00319-0}, pages = {254}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LarcherViazzoRandriamampianinaetal., author = {Larcher, Thomas von and Viazzo, Stephane and Randriamampianina, Anthony and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {Small-scale flow patterns at the vertical sidewalls of the thermally driven rotating annulus}, series = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RoddaBorciaHarlander, author = {Rodda, Costanza and Borcia, Ion-Dan and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {Baroclinic wave laboratory experiment with radial heating and vertical stratification to study IGW emission from baroclinic fronts}, series = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MerboldHarlanderEgbers, author = {Merbold, Sebastian and Harlander, Uwe and Egbers, Christoph}, title = {Physics of rotating fluids, a DFG core facility centre}, series = {88th Annual Meeting of the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics GAMM, March 6-10, 2017, Weimar, Germany, Book of abstracts}, booktitle = {88th Annual Meeting of the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics GAMM, March 6-10, 2017, Weimar, Germany, Book of abstracts}, pages = {S. 355}, language = {en} } @misc{RuedigerSeeligSchultzetal., author = {R{\"u}diger, G{\"u}nther and Seelig, Torsten and Schultz, M. and Gellert, Marcus and Egbers, Christoph and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {The stratorotational instability of Taylor-Couette flows with moderate Reynolds numbers}, series = {Geophysical \& Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics}, volume = {111}, journal = {Geophysical \& Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics}, number = {6}, issn = {0309-1929}, doi = {10.1080/03091929.2017.1382487}, pages = {429 -- 447}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MalteseMelettideOliveiraRaspoSeeligetal., author = {Maltese Meletti de Oliveira, Gabriel and Raspo, Isabelle and Seelig, Torsten and Viazzo, Stephane and Randriamampianina, Anthony and Abide, St{\´e}phane and Krebs, Andreas and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {On the instability of radially sheared and axially stratified vortex flow}, series = {European Geosciences Union, General Assembly 2018, Vienna, Austria}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union, General Assembly 2018, Vienna, Austria}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BorciaBorciaBestehornetal., author = {Borcia, Ion-Dan and Borcia, Rodica and Bestehorn, Michael and Xu, Wenchao and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {Surface waves generated by libration in a circular channel}, series = {The 12th European Fluid Mechanics Conference, 9 September 2018 -

Moreover, extreme weather events such as heat waves and cold spells are part of the jet stream dynamics. For many years, a simple analog in the form of a simplified laboratory experiment, the differentially heated rotating annulus, has provided insight into the dynamics of the meandering jet stream. In the present study, probability density distributions of extreme events from a long-term laboratory experiment are studied and compared to the atmospheric probability density distributions. Empirical distributions of extreme value monthly block data are derived for the experimental and atmospheric cases. Generalized extreme value distributions are adjusted to the empirical distributions, and the distribution parameters are compared. Good agreement was found, but the distributions of the experimental data showed a shift toward larger extreme values, and some explanations for this shift are suggested.

For the experiment, eight unevenly distributed ultrasonic distance sensors measure the local height of the wave surface.

Collision of wave fronts can be observed for higher frequencies. Also, the wave reflection on the walls can be treated as wave collision with itself. The non-linearity seems to be weak in our study so the delay in the wave propagation before and after the collision is small. Time-space plots show localized propagating waves with high amplitudes for frequencies near resonance. Between the peaks low amplitude and harmonic patterns are observed. However, for higher frequencies, the frequency band for localized waves becomes wider. In the Fourier space-time plane, this can be observed as a point for the harmonic patterns or a superposition of two lines: one line parallel to wave-vector k axis corresponding to the excitation frequency and a second line with inclination given by wave propagation velocity . For planned future work, this result will help us to reconstruct the whole water surface elevation using time-series from only a few measurement points}, language = {en} } @misc{LabarbeLeGalHarlanderetal., author = {Labarbe, Joris and Le Gal, Patrice and Harlander, Uwe and Le Diz{\`e}s, St{\´e}phane and Favier, Benjamin}, title = {Localized layers of turbulence in stratified horizontally sheared Poiseuille flow}, series = {Fluid Dynamics}, journal = {Fluid Dynamics}, pages = {20}, language = {en} } @misc{HarlanderSukhanovskiiAbideetal., author = {Harlander, Uwe and Sukhanovskii, Andrei and Abide, St{\´e}phane and Borcia, Ion-Dan and Popova, Elene and Rodda, Costanza and Vasiliev, Andrei and Vincze, Miklos}, title = {New Laboratory Experiments to Study the Large-Scale Circulation and Climate Dynamics}, series = {Atmosphere}, volume = {14}, journal = {Atmosphere}, number = {5}, doi = {10.3390/atmos14050836}, pages = {19}, abstract = {The large-scale flows of the oceans and the atmosphere are driven by a non-uniform surface heating over latitude, and rotation. For many years scientists try to understand these flows by doing laboratory experiments. In the present paper we discuss two rather new laboratory experiments designed to study certain aspects of the atmospheric circulation. One of the experiments, the differentially heated rotating annulus at the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) Cottbus, has a cooled inner cylinder and a heated outer wall. However, the structure of the atmospheric meridional circulation motivates a variation of this "classical" design. In the second experiment described, operational at the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics (ICMM) in Perm, heating and cooling is performed at different vertical levels that resembles more the atmospheric situation. Recent results of both experiments are presented and discussed. Differences and consistencies are highlighted. Though many issues are still open we conclude that both setups have their merits. The variation with heating and cooling at different levels might be more suited to study processes in the transition zone between pure rotating convection and the zone of westerly winds. On the other hand, the simpler boundary conditions of the BTU experiment make this experiment easier to control.}, language = {en} } @misc{MalteseMelettideOliveiraAbideViazzoetal., author = {Maltese Meletti de Oliveira, Gabriel and Abide, St{\´e}phane and Viazzo, Stephane and Harlander, Uwe}, title = {A parameter study of strato-rotational low-frequency modulations: impacts on momentum transfer and energy distribution}, series = {Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society : Series A, Mathematical, physical and engineering sciences}, volume = {381}, journal = {Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society : Series A, Mathematical, physical and engineering sciences}, number = {2246}, issn = {1364-503X}, doi = {10.1098/rsta.2022.0297}, language = {en} } @misc{VinczeHancockHarlanderetal., author = {Vincze, Miklos and Hancock, Cathrine and Harlander, Uwe and Rodda, Costanza and Speer, Kevin}, title = {Extreme temperature fluctuations in laboratory models of the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation}, series = {Scientific reports}, volume = {13 (2023)}, journal = {Scientific reports}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-023-47724-2}, pages = {13}, language = {en} } @misc{HarlanderKurganskySpeeretal., author = {Harlander, Uwe and Kurgansky, Michael V. and Speer, Kevin and Vincze, Miklos}, title = {Baroclinic instability from an experimental perspective}, series = {Comptes Rendus Physique}, volume = {25 (2024)}, journal = {Comptes Rendus Physique}, doi = {10.5802/crphys.198}, pages = {1 -- 48}, language = {en} } @misc{SchoenHarlanderBorciaetal., author = {Sch{\"o}n, Franz-Theo and Harlander, Uwe and Borcia, Ion Dan and Borcia, Rodica and Bestehorn, Michael}, title = {Mean fluid transport in an oscillating circular channel with asymmetric forcing}, series = {Water waves : an interdisciplinary journal}, volume = {2025}, journal = {Water waves : an interdisciplinary journal}, publisher = {Birkh{\"a}user, part of Springer Nature}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2523-3688}, doi = {10.1007/s42286-025-00121-w}, pages = {1 -- 21}, abstract = {We investigate surface waves in an oscillating circular channel with local topography. The focus is on spatially or temporally breaking this dynamic system's symmetry. Asymmetrical wave dynamics and a mean flux excitation are detected to varying degrees, depending on the two input parameters, fluid depth and the tank's oscillation frequency. The fluid resonates around multiples of the fundamental eigenfrequency of the channel. The development of solitary wave-trains (undular bores) is observed in these resonance bands. A particle image velocimetry system measures the velocity field in the vertical plane of the free surface flow. Moreover, we are using 17 evenly distributed ultrasonic sensors to measure the surface displacement. This makes it possible to find out how strongly the mean flux depends on the resonance frequencies and to study the influence of the surface waves on the symmetry breaking.
