A bulk-interface correspondence for equatorial waves

Clément Tauber, Pierre Delplace, Antoine Venaille

Topology is bringing new tools for the study of fluid waves. The existence of unidirectional Yanai and Kelvin equatorial waves has been related to a topological invariant, the Cher…

Experimental study of convection in the compressible regime

Rémi Menaut, Yoann Corre, Ludovic Huguet +6

An experiment of thermal convection with significant compressible effects is presented. The high-gravity environment of a centrifuge and the choice of xenon gas enable us to observ…

Excitation and resonant enhancement of axisymmetric internal wave modes

Samuel Boury, Thomas Peacock, Philippe Odier

To date, axisymmetric internal wave fields, which have relevance to atmospheric internal wave fields generated by storm cells and oceanic near-inertial wave fields generated by sur…

Particle transport induced by internal wave beam streaming in lateral boundary layers

E. Horne, F. Beckebanze, D. Micard +3

Quantifying the physical mechanisms responsible for the transport of sediments, nutrients and pollutants in the abyssal sea is a long-standing problem, with internal waves regularl…

Faraday waves over a permeable rough substrate

Diego Barba Maggi, Alejandro Boschan, Roman Martino +2

We report on an experimental study of the Faraday instability in a vibrated fluid layer situated over a permeable and rough substrate, consisting either of a flat solid plate or of…

Vertical drafts and mixing in stratified turbulence: sharp transition with Froude number

F. Feraco, R. Marino, A. Pumir +4

We investigate the large-scale intermittency of vertical velocity and temperature, and the mixing properties of stably stratified turbulent flows using both Lagrangian and Eulerian…

Advection and diffusion in a chemically induced compressible flow

Florence Raynal, Mickael Bourgoin, Cécile Cottin-Bizonne +2

We study analytically the joint dispersion of Gaussian patches of salt and colloids in linear flows, and how salt gradients accelerate or delay colloid spreading by diffusiophoreti…

Scale effects in internal wave attractors

C. Brouzet, I. N. Sibgatullin, E. V. Ermanyuk +2

As a necessary preliminary step toward geophysically significant extrapolations, we study the scale effects in internal wave attractors in the linear and nonlinear regimes. We use…

Mixing by internal waves quantified using combined PIV/PLIF technique

Y. Dossmann, B. Bourget, C. Brouzet +3

We present a novel characterization of mixing events associated with the propagation and overturning of internal waves, studied thanks to the simultaneous use of Particle Image Vel…

Mixing and formation of layers by internal wave forcing

Yvan Dossmann, Florence Pollet, Philippe Odier +1

The energy pathways from propagating internal waves to the scales of irreversible mixing in the ocean are not fully described. In the ocean interior, the triadic resonant instabili…

Added mass: a complex face of tidal conversion

C. Brouzet, E. V. Ermanyuk, M. Moulin +2

This paper revisits the problem of tidal conversion at a ridge in a uniformly stratified fluid of limited depth using measurements of complex-valued added mass. When the height of…

Internal Wave Attractors in 3D Geometries : trapping by oblique reflection

G. Pillet, E. V. Ermanyuk, L. R. M. Maas +2

We study experimentally the propagation of internal waves in two different three-dimensional (3D) geometries, with a special emphasis on the refractive focusing due to the 3D refle…

Relative dispersion of particle pairs in turbulent channel flow

Juan Ignacio Polanco, Ivana Vinkovic, Nickolas Stelzenmuller +2

Lagrangian tracking of particle pairs is of fundamental interest in a large number of environmental applications dealing with contaminant dispersion and passive scalar mixing. The…

A Cascade Leading to the Emergence of Small Structures in Vortex Ring Collisions

Ryan McKeown, Rodolfo Ostilla-Monico, Alain Pumir +2

When vortex rings collide head-on at high enough Reynolds numbers, they ultimately annihilate through a violent interaction which breaks down their cores into a turbulent cloud. We…

Dispersion of air bubbles in isotropic turbulence

Varghese Mathai, Sander G. Huisman, Chao Sun +2

Bubbles play an important role in the transport of chemicals and nutrients in many natural and industrial flows. Their dispersion is crucial to understand the mixing processes in t…
