Numerical study of the McIntyre instability around Gaussian floating vortices in thermal wind balance
Michael Le Bars
The visco-diffusive McIntyre instability (McIntyre 1970) has been suggested as a possible source for density layer formation around laboratory and oceanic vortices. This suggestion…
Gas giant-like zonal jets in the laboratory
Daphné Lemasquerier, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
This paper is associated with a poster winner of a 2019 American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Milton van Dyke Award for work presented at the DFD Gallery of Fl…
Remote determination of the shape of Jupiter's vortices from laboratory experiments
Daphné Lemasquerier, Giulio Facchini, Benjamin Favier +1
Jupiter's dynamics shapes its cloud patterns but remains largely unknown below this natural observational barrier. Unraveling the underlying three-dimensional flows is thus a prima…
Evidence of the Zakharov-Kolmogorov spectrum in numerical simulations of inertial wave turbulence
Thomas Le Reun, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
Rotating turbulence is commonly known for being dominated by geostrophic vortices that are invariant along the rotation axis and undergo inverse cascade. Yet, it has recently been…
Turbulent kinematic dynamos in ellipsoids driven by mechanical forcing
K. Sandeep Reddy, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
Dynamo action in planetary cores has been extensively studied in the context of convectively-driven flows. We show in this letter that mechanical forcings, namely tides, libration…
Order Out of Chaos: Slowly Reversing Mean Flows Emerge from Turbulently Generated Internal Waves
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Daniel Lecoanet, Benjamin Favier +1
We demonstrate via direct numerical simulations that a periodic, oscillating mean flow spontaneously develops from turbulently generated internal waves. We consider a minimal physi…
