Most of the proposed scenarios involve large fractions of merging events, high speed interactions with dwarf spheroidal galaxies, cusp effect of the dark matter density profiles, etc. We here argue that counterrotation as well as fast and slow rotation of disks or spheroids at the center of galaxies can also be explained by a misalignment of the central spheroid equatorial plane with regard to that defined by the observed external stellar rotation. Contrary to what happens at the outer region of disk galaxies, once instability has led to the inner warped core, the perturbed orbits can maintain a common orientation due to the rigid body like rotation at the central region of the galaxy. The spatial configuration that furnishes the smallest angular momentum difference between the KDC and the host galaxy is completely defined by observed parameters in the plane of the sky, namely, the inclination of the inner and outer disks and the angle between the two lines of nodes. As an example we modeled the paradigmatic and extreme case of the 2D radial velocity field of NGC 4382 nucleus. Tilt angles of the KDC not larger than 30 degrees also allow explaining fast and low rotators of the called “Sauron paradigm” in a unified scenario. The maximum for the three parameters, namely, velocity of the inner rotator, difference of position angle and difference with the outer rotation velocity of the whole Sauron sample, are consistently correlated in agreement with the proposed scenario. These quantities do not correlate with the galaxies magnitude, mass (since large and dwarf spheroidals show apparent counterrotation as well) or environment, also suggesting that an internal phenomenon like the central spheroid warping, that we are here proposing, may be at work.展开更多

Combined with a numerical simulation, two streamwise CVPs with opposite rotating directions are identified in the wake flow of the vortex generator with an absence of a boundary layer, namely, a Primary CVP(PCVP) and a Secondary CVP(SCVP). The wake flow is divided into two stages with different features of the PCVP and SCVP. In Stage Ⅰ, the PCVP and SCVP gradually mature, and the flow is relatively stable. In Stage Ⅱ, the PCVP and SCVP depart from each other, and the flow becomes unstable. The profiles of the transverse velocity in the spanwise symmetry plane induced by the PCVP and SCVP do not obey the scaling law of CVPs immersed in the boundary layer. A new scaling law is proposed, in which the transverse distances between adjacent saddle points in the cross-sectional flow field are used as the characteristic lengths for the PCVP and SCVP. After this new scaling procedure, the profiles of transverse velocity induced by the PCVP and SCVP at different streamwise locations collapse well. Moreover, the PLS images show that the mixing between the CVPs and the outside high-momentum flow becomes evident at approximately 5.5 times the height of the vortex generator, which is earlier than that immersed in the boundary layer. These findings enrich the knowledge of CVPs in the hypersonic regime, especially in the absence of the boundary layer.展开更多
