Zonal jets experiments in the gas giants' zonostrophic regime
Daphné Lemasquerier, Benjamin Favier, Michael Le Bars
Intense east-west winds called zonal jets are observed in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn and extend in their deep interior. We present experimental results from a fully thre…
Competition between Rayleigh--Bénard and horizontal convection
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Joseph Nandaha, Benjamin Favier
We investigate the dynamics of a fluid layer subject to an imposed bottom heat flux and a top monotonically-increasing temperature profile driving horizontal convection. We use dir…
Localized layers of turbulence in stratified horizontally sheared Poiseuille flow
Joris Labarbe, Patrice Le Gal, Uwe Harlander +2
This article presents a numerical analysis of the instability developing in horizontally sheared Poiseuille flow, when stratification extends along the vertical direction. Our stud…
Spontaneous suppression of inverse energy cascade in instability-driven 2D turbulence
Adrian van Kan, Benjamin Favier, Keith Julien +1
Instabilities of fluid flows often generate turbulence. Using extensive direct numerical simulations, we study two-dimensional turbulence driven by a wavenumber-localised instabili…
