vorticity equation
2.In this numerical scheme, the quasi-geostrophic barotropic equivalent vorticity equation is considered as a convetion-diffusion-reaction equation, which is easily treated by LBM. Under second-order accuracy, the quasi-geostrophic barotropic equivalent vorticity equationis recovered from the LB equation by Chapman-Enskog expansion.
4.Three vortices,which happened over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June of 1979,are estimated in this paper by using apparent heat source equation,apparent moist sink equation,perturbationenergy equations and vorticity equation. During the genesis and development process of the vortices,the vertical eddy transport of to-tal heat(sensible heat and latent heat)caused by cumulus and turbulence is very important.
