Effect of weak rotation on large-scale circulation cessations in turbulent convection
Michael Assaf, Luiza Angheluta, Nigel Goldenfeld
We investigate the effect of weak rotation on the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection, using the theory for cessations in a low-dimensional stocha…
Rare fluctuations and large-scale circulation cessations in turbulent convection
Michael Assaf, Luiza Angheluta, Nigel Goldenfeld
In turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection, a large-scale circulation (LSC) develops in a nearly vertical plane, and is maintained by rising and falling plumes detaching from the unst…
Experimental Study of Parametric Autoresonance in Faraday Waves
Oded Ben-David, Michael Assaf, Jay Fineberg +1
The excitation of large amplitude nonlinear waves is achieved via parametric autoresonance of Faraday waves. We experimentally demonstrate that phase locking to low amplitude drivi…
Parametric Autoresonance in Faraday waves
Michael Assaf, Baruch Meerson
We develop a theory of parametric excitation of weakly nonlinear standing gravity waves in a tank, which is under vertical vibrations with a slowly time-dependent ("chirped") vibra…
