Weakening the effect of boundaries: `diffusion-free' boundary conditions as a `do least harm' alternative to Neumann

Yufeng Lin, Rich Kerswell

In this note, we discuss a poorly known alternative boundary condition to the usual Neumann or `stress-free' boundary condition typically used to weaken boundary layers when diffus…

Inertial wave and zonal flow in librating spherical shells

Yufeng Lin, Jerome Noir, Michael A. Calkin

We numerically study the inertial waves and zonal flows in spherical shells driven by longitudinal libration, an oscillatory variation of rotation rate. Internal shear layers are g…

Scaling behaviour of rotating convection in a spherical shell with different Prandtl numbers

Wei Fan, Qi Wang, Yufeng Lin

Rayleigh-Benard convection in a rotating spherical shell provides a simplified model for convective dynamics of planetary and stellar interiors. In this study, we build more than 2…

Experimental study of fluid flows in a precessing cylindrical annulus

Yufeng Lin, Jerome Noir, Andrew Jackson

The flow inside a precessing fluid cavity has been given particular attention since the end of the 19th century in geophysical and industrial contexts. The present study aims at sh…

Dynamos driven by top-heavy double-diffusive convection in the strong-field regime

Wei Fan, Yufeng Lin

The magnetic fields of terrestrial planets are generated in their liquid cores through dynamo action driven by thermal and compositional convection. The coexistence of these two bu…

Tidal interactions in spin-orbit misaligned systems

Yufeng Lin, Gordon Ogilvie

Spin-orbit misalignments have been detected in exoplanetary systems and binary star systems. Tidal interactions may have played an important role in the evolution of the spin-orbit…

Ocean Tides on Asynchronously Rotating Planets Orbiting Low-mass Stars

Jiaru Shi, Jun Yang, Dorian S. Abbot +3

Planets in the liquid-water habitable zone of low-mass stars experience large tidal forces, to times those on Earth, due to the small distance between the habitable z…

Libration-driven inertial waves and mean zonal flows in spherical shells

Yufeng Lin, Jerome Noir

Several planetary bodies in our solar system undergo a forced libration owing to gravitational interactions with their orbital companions, leading to complex fluid motions in their…
