Joint Instability and Abrupt Nonlinear Transitions in a Differentially Rotating Plasma
Abigail Plummer, J. B. Marston, S. M. Tobias
Global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities are investigated in a computationally tractable two-dimensional model of the solar tachocline. The model's differential rotation yiel…

Fixation Probabilities in Weakly Compressible Fluid Flows
Abigail Plummer, Roberto Benzi, David R. Nelson +1
Competition between biological species in marine environments is affected by the motion of the surrounding fluid. An effective 2D compressibility can arise, for example, from the c…
