Limiting regimes of turbulent horizontal convection. Part II : Large Prandtl numbers
Pierre-Yves Passaggia, Nadia F. Cohen, Alberto Scotti +1
Horizontal Convection (HC) at large Rayleigh and Prandtl numbers, is studied experimentally in a regime up to seven orders of magnitude larger in terms of Rayleigh numbers than pre…
Limiting regimes of turbulent horizontal convection. Part I: Intermediate and low Prandtl numbers
Pierre-Yves Passaggia, Alberto Scotti, Brian L. White
We report the existence of two new limiting turbulent regimes in horizontal convection (HC) using direct numerical simulations at intermediate to low Prandtl numbers. The flow driv…
Transient energy growth in the ageostrophic Eady model
Varvara E. Zemskova, Pierre-Yves Passaggia, Brian L. White
The problem of optimal initial disturbances in thermal wind shear is revisited and extended to include non-hydrostatic effects. This systematic study compares transient and modal g…
Heat and momentum transport in turbulent horizontal convection at low Prandtl numbers
Pierre-Yves Passaggia, Alberto Scotti, Brian L. White
The transition to a new turbulent regime in horizontal convection in the case of low Prandtl numbers is analyzed using the Shishkina, Grossmann & Lohse (SGL) theory. The flow drive…
Optimal transient growth in thin-interface internal solitary waves
Pierre-Yves Passaggia, Karl R. Helfrich, Brian L. White
The dynamics of perturbations to large-amplitude Internal Solitary Waves (ISW) in two-layered flows with thin interfaces is analyzed by means of linear optimal transient growth met…
