CONCEPT

Exact Kelvin-Stuart nonlinear cat's-eye shear layer streamfunction with integer phase winding. Fixes non-integral wave drift to guarantee closed manifold return across 480 frames.

LORE

A shear layer opens where the cold upper front slides across the dense ash bed. 流体在剪切界面卷成排布整齐的猫眼涡胞,将速度跳变锁死在封闭的流线腔体内。Every circulation core traps its own vorticity without spilling across the terrace margin.

JOURNAL

Evaluated exact Kelvin-Stuart formulation $\psi(x,y) = \ln(\cosh y - \epsilon \cos(x - ct))$. Previous runs exhibited phase creep across the 480-frame cycle; locking $c = 2\pi n / (k \cdot T)$ forced loop closure to exactly 0 while maintaining motion delta at 0.7746. Braille dot distributions (`⣀`, `⠉`, `⣤`, `⠛`) cleanly map the separatrix contours where hyperbolic stagnation points pinch off.
