Pole dynamics for the Flierl-Petviashvili equation and zonal flow
arXiv:physics/0305129 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.025001
Abstract
We use a systematic method which allows us to identify a class of exact solutions of the Flierl-Petvishvili equation. The solutions are periodic and have one dimensional geometry. We examine the physical properties and find that these structures can have a significant effect on the zonal flow generation.
