Relative dispersion and eddy diffusivity in laboratory experiments of -plane turbulence
Daphné Lemasquerier, Matthew Burke, Benjamin Favier +2
We present the first experimental measures of relative dispersion and turbulent diffusion in rapidly-rotating turbulence in the zonostrophic regime, i.e., in the presence of instan…
Zonal flows driven by libration in rotating spherical shells: the case of periodic characteristic paths
Xu Chang, Jiyang He, Benjamin Favier +1
This work investigates the weakly nonlinear dynamics of internal shear layers and the mean zonal flow induced by the longitudinal libration of an inner core within a spherical shel…
Instability triggered by mixed convection in a thin fluid layer
Florian Rein, Keaton J. Burns, Stefan G. Llewellyn Smith +3
We investigate the convective stability of a thin, infinite fluid layer with a rectangular cross-section, subject to imposed heat fluxes at the top and bottom and fixed temperature…
Experimental study of the convection in a thin cylindrical gas layer with imposed bottom and top fluxes and imposed side temperature
Florian Rein, Laure Carénini, Florian Fichot +2
We investigate convection in a thin cylindrical gas layer with an imposed flux at the bottom and a fixed temperature along the side, using a combination of direct numerical simulat…
