Zombie Vortex Instability. II. Thresholds to Trigger Instability and the Properties of Zombie Turbulence in the Dead Zones of Protoplanetary Disks
Philip S. Marcus, Suyang Pei, Chung-Hsiang Jiang +1
In Zombie Vortex Instability (ZVI), perturbations excite critical layers in stratified, rotating shear flow (as in protoplanetary disks), causing them to generate vortex layers, wh…

Stability of 3D Gaussian vortices in an unbounded, rotating, vertically-stratified, Boussinesq flow: Linear analysis
Mani Mahdinia, Pedram Hassanzadeh, Philip S. Marcus +1
The linear stability of three-dimensional (3D) vortices in rotating, stratified flows has been studied by analyzing the non-hydrostatic inviscid Boussinesq equations. We have focus…
