Boundary Zonal Flow in Rotating Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Xuan Zhang, Dennis P. M. van Gils, Susanne Horn +7
For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh--Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell, experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that repla…
Wrinkling instability in 3D active nematics
Tobias Strübing, Amir Khosravanizadeh, Andrej Vilfan +3
In nature interactions between biopolymers and motor proteins give rise to biologically essential emergent behaviours. Besides cytoskeleton mechanics, active nematics arise from su…
Ice nucleation in the wake of warm hydrometeors
Prasanth Prabhakaran, Gregory Kinney, Will Cantrell +2
The formation of ice in mixed phase clouds greatly impacts Earths hydrologic cycle. The intensity, distribution and frequency of precipitation as well as radiative properties of cl…
Flagella-like beating of a single microtubule
Andrej Vilfan, Smrithika Subramani, Eberhard Bodenschatz +2
Kinesin motors can induce a buckling instability in a microtubule with a fixed minus end. Here we show that by modifying the surface with a protein-repellent functionalization and…
Direct assessment of Kolmogorov's first refined similarity hypothesis
John M. Lawson, Eberhard Bodenschatz, Anna N. Knutsen +2
Using volumetric velocity data from a turbulent laboratory water flow and numerical simulations of homogeneous, isotropic turbulence, we present a direct experimental and numerical…
Extreme velocity gradients in turbulent flows
Dhawal Buaria, Alain Pumir, Eberhard Bodenschatz +1
Fully turbulent flows are characterized by intermittent formation of very localized and intense velocity gradients. These gradients can be orders of magnitude larger than their typ…
