Nonlinear evolution of the elliptical instability in the presence of weak magnetic fields
Adrian J. Barker, Yoram Lithwick
We investigate whether the elliptical instability is important for tidal dissipation in gaseous planets and stars. In a companion paper, we found that the conventional elliptical i…

Nonlinear evolution of the tidal elliptical instability in gaseous planets and stars
Adrian J. Barker, Yoram Lithwick
Tidally distorted rotating stars and gaseous planets are subject to a well-known linear fluid instability -- the elliptical instability. It has been proposed that this instability…
