Large-scale self-organisation in dry turbulent atmospheres
Alexandros Alexakis, Raffaele Marino, Pablo D. Mininni +3
How turbulent convective fluctuations organise to form large-scale structures in planetary atmospheres remains a question that eludes quantitative answers. The assumption that this…
Bridging the Rossby number gap in rapidly rotating thermal convection
Adrian van Kan, Keith Julien, Benjamin Miquel +1
Geophysical and astrophysical fluid flows are typically driven by buoyancy and strongly constrained at large scales by planetary rotation. Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convecti…
Intermittency of three-dimensional perturbations in a point-vortex model
Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis, Marc Etienne Brachet
Three-dimensional (3D) instabilities on a (potentially turbulent) two-dimensional (2D) flow are still incompletely understood, despite recent progress. Here, based on known physica…
Condensates in thin-layer turbulence
Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis
We examine the steady state of turbulent flows in thin layers using direct numerical simulations. It is shown that when the layer thickness is smaller than a critical height, an in…
