Gas giant-like zonal jets in the laboratory
Daphné Lemasquerier, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
This paper is associated with a poster winner of a 2019 American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Milton van Dyke Award for work presented at the DFD Gallery of Fl…
Evidence of the Zakharov-Kolmogorov spectrum in numerical simulations of inertial wave turbulence
Thomas Le Reun, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
Rotating turbulence is commonly known for being dominated by geostrophic vortices that are invariant along the rotation axis and undergo inverse cascade. Yet, it has recently been…
Coupled convection and internal gravity waves excited in water around its density maximum at 4°C
Pierre Léard, Benjamin Favier, Patrice Le Gal +1
Coupled mixed convective and stratified systems are common in natural flows. To study experimentally the associated dynamics, we use a singular property of water: its non-linear eq…
Zonal jets at the laboratory scale: hysteresis and Rossby waves resonance
Daphné Lemasquerier, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
The dynamics, structure and stability of zonal jets in planetary flows are still poorly understood, especially in terms of coupling with the small-scale turbulent flow. Here, we us…
Topography generation by melting and freezing in a turbulent shear flow
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Eric Hester, Benjamin Favier +3
We report an idealized numerical study of a melting and freezing solid adjacent to a turbulent, buoyancy-affected shear flow, in order to improve our understanding of topography ge…
Bistability in Rayleigh-Bénard convection with a melting boundary
Jhaswantsing Purseed, Benjamin Favier, Laurent Duchemin +1
A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these t…
