How to prove Coriolis acceleration

These two reference systems can rotate with each other. For example, when the high-speed centrifuge is started, the test tube reference frame and the desktop reference frame rotate relatively. The particles in the test tube move in a straight line along the test tube, but spiral relative to the desktop, so we also need to transform the rotating coordinate system.

Consider the disk S' rotating relative to the desktop S, as shown in Figure 2- 17. Let the rotational angular velocity ω be a constant vector, pointing to the positive direction perpendicular to the Z axis of the disk surface, with the rotational axis at the center O' of the disk surface and the origin o of the desktop coincident with it. Suppose that vector a is fixed on S'. Note that the velocity expression (2.2. 10) shows that the increment of a in dt time is

dA=A(t+ dt)- A(t)=(ω×A)dt

If the vector has an increment dA' relative to s' at the same time, the increment relative to s is

Da = (ω× a) dt+da So we have a general relationship:

Or write a symbolic equation:

Obviously, the transformation relation of speed can be obtained by substituting the position vector into the above formula:

The derivative with apostrophe in the formula only means that it is carried out in the S' system, and does not mean that there is any difference in time. This also applies to other vectors. For example, any vector can be replaced by two vectors starting from the origin. The above practice can be completely extended to three-dimensional situations. The symbolic equation (2.7.2) is linear (satisfying the distribution law). For the velocity vector, we have

As can be seen from the observers in the S system, the acceleration consists of three parts. The first item is in the S' system.

Acceleration. When the particle is stationary in the S' system, the meaning of the third term can be clearly seen:

ω×(ω×r)=-(ω ω)ρ (2.7.5)

That is, centripetal acceleration. The second term is called Coriolis acceleration, which has a non-zero value only when the particle moves in the S' system. Is the expression *(2.7.4) consistent with the expression of acceleration in plane polar coordinates (1.5)? If the angular velocity is not a constant vector, are equations (2.7.3) and (2.7.4) correct? If it is not correct, how should it be revised?

Let's discuss the influence of the earth's rotation. The rotating earth is considered as an S' system, and a "non-rotating" earth (translation coordinate system) is an S system. In the earth reference system, the acceleration of gravity of particles is

g = G0-2ω×v′-ω×(ω×r)(2 . 7 . 6)

we know

G0 ≈ 9.8m/s2

ω= 7.292× 10-5 radians/second

In contrast, the inertial centrifugal term is much smaller,

|ω×(ω×r)|≤ω2R≈3.39× 10-2m/S2 < < G0

Thus, if the effective acceleration of gravity is incorporated, the formula (2.7.6) can be written as follows.

mg = mg eff-2mω×v′(2 . 7 . 7)

The last term is the Coriolis force on a moving object. It should be noted that this term is completely transformed from the coordinate system, or it is produced because the observer's perspective in the rotating coordinate system is different from that in the translating coordinate system. Generally, we can say that Coriolis force is a kinematic effect. * Is Coriolis force related to latitude? Is there a difference between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere?

According to formula (2.7.7), we can judge the deviation of falling body. Roughly speaking, the speed (zero order approximation) of a falling body is in the -r direction. For the northern hemisphere, we can judge that the speed will be biased to the east, that is, -2mω×v' ~ωk×er =ωEJ. The so-called falling body is eastward. If it is from (2.7)

* Discussion: Will the thrown object fall at the throwing point?

The movement of the earth's surface is also influenced by Coriolis force. As can be seen from Figure 2- 18, rotation causes the movement to deviate from the forward right hand direction. We can decompose the speed to obtain quantitative results:

-2ω×(vθeθ+vjej)= 2ω(vθeθ×k+vjej×k)

=2ω(-vθcosθej+vjeρ)

=2ωcosθ(-vθej+vjeθ)

+2ωvjsinθer

Because of the existence of the g term, the radial term in the formula can be ignored, and the first two terms accurately indicate that the acceleration points to the right hand side of the motion direction.

A typical example of Coriolis force is cyclone in the atmosphere. In the weather forecast program, you may have seen the counterclockwise cyclone in the satellite image. In the southern hemisphere, this cyclone is clockwise. Foucault's pendulum (18 19- 1868) is an excellent example to show the earth's rotation. 36866.88686868686

Coriolis force is also manifested in microscopic phenomena. For example, it complicates the vibration of rotating molecules and makes the energy spectrum of molecular rotation and vibration interact.
