Onset of glacier tables
Marceau Hénot, Nicolas Plihon, Nicolas Taberlet
A glacier table consists of a rock supported by a slender column of ice and form naturally on glaciers. We investigate the onset of their formation at a smaller scale in a controll…
Rare event-triggered transitions in aerodynamic bifurcation
Ariane Gayout, Mickaël Bourgoin, Nicolas Plihon
The transitions between two states of a bistable system are investigated experimentally and analyzed in the framework of rare-event statistics. Considering a disk pendulum swept by…
Scaling laws in axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic duct flows
A. Poyé, O. Agullo, N. Plihon +3
We report on a numerical study of axisymmetric flow of liquid metal in a circular duct with rectangular cross-section. The flow is forced through the combination of an axial magnet…
Sedimentation of a suspension of paramagnetic particles in an external magnetic field
Jérémy Vessaire, Nicolas Plihon, Romain Volk +1
We investigate the sedimentation of initially packed paramagnetic particles in presence of a homogeneous external magnetic field, in a Hele-Shaw cell filled with water. Although th…
Dynamo regimes and transitions in the VKS experiment
M. Berhanu, G. Verhille, J. Boisson +14
The Von K{á}rm{á}n Sodium experiment yields a variety of dynamo regimes, when asymmetry is imparted to the flow by rotating impellers at different speed F1 and F2. We show that as…
Double layer formation in the expanding region of an inductively coupled electronegative plasma
N. Plihon, C. S. Corr, P. Chabert
Double-layers (DLs) were observed in the expanding region of an inductively coupled plasma with gas mixtures. No DL was observed in pure argon or $\text{SF…
