Libration driven elliptical instability
David Cébron, Michael Le Bars, J. Noir +1
The elliptical instability is a generic instability which takes place in any rotating flow whose streamlines are elliptically deformed. Up to now, it has been widely studied in the…
Elliptical instability in terrestrial planets and moons
David Cébron, Michael Le Bars, Claire Moutou +1
The presence of celestial companions means that any planet may be subject to three kinds of harmonic mechanical forcing: tides, precession/nutation, and libration. These forcings c…
The Universal Aspect Ratio of Vortices in Rotating Stratifi?ed Flows: Experiments and Observations
Oriane Aubert, Michael Le Bars, Patrice Le Gal +1
We validate a new law for the aspect ratio of vortices in a rotating, stratified flow, where and are the vertical half-height and horizontal length scale of the vo…
Fluid flows in a librating cylinder
Alban Sauret, David Cébron, Michael Le Bars +1
The flow in a cylinder driven by time harmonic oscillations of the rotation rate, called longitudinal librations, is investigated. Using a theoretical approach and axisymmetric num…
