Coupled convection and internal gravity waves excited in water around its density maximum at 4°C
Pierre Léard, Benjamin Favier, Patrice Le Gal +1
Coupled mixed convective and stratified systems are common in natural flows. To study experimentally the associated dynamics, we use a singular property of water: its non-linear eq…
Multi-modal excitation to model the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation
Pierre Léard, Daniel Lecoanet, Michael Le Bars
The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) of stratospheric winds is the most striking example of mean-flow generation and reversal by the non-linear interactions of internal waves. Prev…
Dynamics of a reactive spherical particle falling in a linearly stratified fluid
Ludovic Huguet, Victor Barge-Zwick, Michael Le Bars
Motivated by numerous geophysical applications, we have carried out laboratory experiments of a reactive (i.e. melting) solid sphere freely falling by gravity in a stratified envir…
