Relative dispersion and eddy diffusivity in laboratory experiments of -plane turbulence

Daphné Lemasquerier, Matthew Burke, Benjamin Favier +2

We present the first experimental measures of relative dispersion and turbulent diffusion in rapidly-rotating turbulence in the zonostrophic regime, i.e., in the presence of instan…

Zonal flows driven by libration in rotating spherical shells: the case of periodic characteristic paths

Xu Chang, Jiyang He, Benjamin Favier +1

This work investigates the weakly nonlinear dynamics of internal shear layers and the mean zonal flow induced by the longitudinal libration of an inner core within a spherical shel…

Instability triggered by mixed convection in a thin fluid layer

Florian Rein, Keaton J. Burns, Stefan G. Llewellyn Smith +3

We investigate the convective stability of a thin, infinite fluid layer with a rectangular cross-section, subject to imposed heat fluxes at the top and bottom and fixed temperature…

Experimental study of the convection in a thin cylindrical gas layer with imposed bottom and top fluxes and imposed side temperature

Florian Rein, Laure Carénini, Florian Fichot +2

We investigate convection in a thin cylindrical gas layer with an imposed flux at the bottom and a fixed temperature along the side, using a combination of direct numerical simulat…

Interaction between forced and natural convection in a thin cylindrical fluid layer at low Prandtl number

Florian Rein, Laure Carénini, Florian Fichot +2

Motivated by nuclear safety issues, we study the heat transfers in a thin cylindrical fluid layer with imposed fluxes at the bottom and top surfaces (not necessarily equal) and a f…

From a vortex gas to a vortex crystal in instability-driven two-dimensional turbulence

A. van Kan, B. Favier, K. Julien +1

We study structure formation in two-dimensional turbulence driven by an external force, interpolating between linear instability forcing and random stirring, subject to nonlinear d…
