Experimental evidence of Kelvin wave turbulence along a vortex core
Jason Barckicke, Christophe Gissinger, Eric Falcon
Wave turbulence is a regime of interacting nonlinear waves occurring in most physical systems. Kelvin waves are helical distortions that propagate along vortex filaments and are be…
Magnetic reversals in a geodynamo model with a stably-stratified layer
Nicolás Pablo Müller, Christophe Gissinger, François Pétrélis
We study the process of magnetic reversals in the presence of a stably-stratified layer below the core-mantle boundary using direct numerical simulations of the incompressible magn…
Laboratory modeling of MHD accretion disks
Christophe Gissinger
This review article summarizes two decades of laboratory research aimed at understanding the dynamics of accretion disks, with particular emphasis on magnetohydrodynamic experiment…
Thermoelectricity at a gallium-mercury liquid metal interface
Marlone Vernet, Stephan Fauve, Christophe Gissinger
We present experimental evidence of a thermoelectric effect at the interface between two liquid metals. Using superimposed layers of mercury and gallium in a cylindrical vessel ope…
Subcritical transition to turbulence triggered by a magnetic dynamo
Florentin Daniel, Ludovic Petitdemange, Christophe Gissinger
It has recently been shown that a significant slowdown of many stars can be attributed to the emergence of a strong magnetic field within the radiative region, where heat is transf…
Tayler-Spruit dynamos in simulated radiative stellar layers
Ludovic Petitdemange, Florence Marcotte, Christophe Gissinger +1
The Tayler-Spruit dynamo mechanism has been proposed two decades ago as a plausible mechanism to transport angular momentum in radiative stellar layers. Direct numerical simulation…
