The atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were modeled as shallow layers of turbulent fluid overlying a smooth, spherical interior. With only the observed values of radius, rotation rate, average wind velocity, and mean layer thickness as model parameters, bands and jets spontaneously emerged from random initial conditions. The number, width, and amplitude of the jets, as well as the dominance of anticyclonic vortices, are in good agreement with observations for all four planets.
木星、土星、天王星和海王星的大气被模拟为覆盖在光滑球形内部之上的浅湍流流体层。仅将观测到的半径、自转速率、平均风速和平均层厚度值作为模型参数,带状物和急流就从随机初始条件中自发出现。急流的数量、宽度和振幅,以及反气旋涡旋的主导地位,与这四颗行星的观测结果高度吻合。
