Spontaneous generation of helical flows by salt fingers

Adrian E. Fraser, Adrian van Kan, Edgar Knobloch +2

We study the dynamics of salt fingers in the regime of slow salinity diffusion (small inverse Lewis number) and strong stratification (large density ratio), focusing on regimes rel…

Traveling spatially localized convective structures in an inclined porous medium

Zhiwei Dave Li, Chang Liu, Adrian van Kan +1

Multiple stationary, localized structures were recently found for inclined porous medium convection with constant-temperature boundaries. We analyze traveling asymmetric, localized…

1/f noise and anomalous scaling in Lévy noise-driven on-off intermittency

Adrian van Kan, François Pétrélis

On-off intermittency occurs in nonequilibrium physical systems close to bifurcation points and is characterised by an aperiodic switching between a large-amplitude "on" state and a…

Lévy on-off intermittency

Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis, Marc-Etienne Brachet

We present a new form of intermittency, Lévy on-off intermittency, which arises from multiplicative -stable white noise close to an instability threshold. We study this problem…

Role of the forcing dimensionality in thin-layer turbulent energy cascades

Basile Poujol, Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis

We investigate the transition from forward to inverse energy cascade in turbulent flows in thin layers, varying the functional form of the forcing and the thickness of the layer. W…

Critical transition in fast-rotating turbulence within highly elongated domains

Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis

We study rapidly rotating turbulent flows in a highly elongated domain using an asymptotic expansion at simultaneously low Rossby number and large domain height compared…
