Seven decades of exploring planetary interiors with rotating convection experiments
Alban Pothérat, Susanne Horn
The interiors of many planets consist mostly of fluid layers. When these layers are subject to superadiabatic temperature or compositional gradients, turbulent convection transport…

Regimes of rotating convection in an experimental model of the Earth's tangent cylinder
Rishav Agrawal, Martin Holdsworth, Alban Pothérat
Earth's fast rotation imposes the Taylor-Proudman Constraint that opposes fluid motion across an imaginary cylindrical surface called the Tangent Cylinder (TC) obtained by extrudin…

Simultaneous Eulerian-Lagrangian velocity measurements of particulate pipe flow in transitional regime
Sanjay Singh, Alban Pothérat, Chris C. T. Pringle +2
We present a unique pipe flow rig capable where simultaneous particle tracking and flow velocity measurements in a dilute, neutrally buoyant particulate pipe flow in regimes of tra…
