Elliptical instability in terrestrial planets and moons
David Cébron, Michael Le Bars, Claire Moutou +1
The presence of celestial companions means that any planet may be subject to three kinds of harmonic mechanical forcing: tides, precession/nutation, and libration. These forcings c…
The Universal Aspect Ratio of Vortices in Rotating Stratifi?ed Flows: Experiments and Observations
Oriane Aubert, Michael Le Bars, Patrice Le Gal +1
We validate a new law for the aspect ratio of vortices in a rotating, stratified flow, where and are the vertical half-height and horizontal length scale of the vo…
The Universal Aspect Ratio of Vortices in Rotating Stratified Flows: Theory and Simulation
Pedram Hassanzadeh, Philip S. Marcus, Patrice Le Gal
We derive a relationship for the vortex aspect ratio (vertical half-thickness over horizontal length scale) for steady and slowly evolving vortices in rotating stratified fluid…
