Precession-driven flows in stress-free ellipsoids

J. Vidal, D. Cébron

Motivated by modelling rotating turbulence in planetary fluid layers, we investigate precession-driven flows in ellipsoids subject to stress-free boundary conditions (SF-BC). The S…

Mean zonal flows induced by weak mechanical forcings in rotating spheroids

David Cébron, Jérémie Vidal, Nathanaël Schaeffer +2

The generation of mean flows is a long-standing issue in rotating fluids. Motivated by planetary objects, we consider here a rapidly rotating fluid-filled spheroid, which is subjec…

Acoustic spectra of a gas-filled rotating spheroid

Sylvie Su, David Cébron, Henri-Claude Nataf +4

The acoustic spectrum of a gas-filled resonating cavity can be used to indirectly probe its internal velocity field. This unconventional velocimetry method is particularly interest…

Precessing spherical shells: flows, dissipation, dynamo and the lunar core

David Cébron, Raphaël Laguerre, Jerome Noir +1

Precession of planets or moons affects internal liquid layers by driving flows, instabilities and possibly dynamos.The energy dissipated by these phenomena can influence orbital pa…

Latitudinal libration driven flows in triaxial ellipsoids

S. Vantieghem, D. Cébron, J. Noir

Motivated by understanding the liquid core dynamics of tidally deformed planets and moons, we present a study of incompressible flow driven by latitudinal libration within rigid tr…

Bistable flows in precessing spheroids

D Cébron

Precession driven flows are found in any rotating container filled with liquid, when the rotation axis itself rotates about a secondary axis that is fixed in an inertial frame of r…
