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…

Convective Lengthscale in Planetary Cores

Céline Guervilly, Philippe Cardin, Nathanaël Schaeffer

Convection is a fundamental physical process in the fluid cores of planets because it is the primary transport mechanism for heat and chemical species and the primary energy source…

Multiple zonal jets and convective heat transport barriers in a quasi-geostrophic model of planetary cores

Céline Guervilly, Philippe Cardin

We study rapidly-rotating Boussinesq convection driven by internal heating in a full sphere. We use a numerical model based on the quasi-geostrophic approximation for the velocity…

Subcritical thermal convection of liquid metals in a rapidly rotating sphere

E. J. Kaplan, N. Schaeffer, J. Vidal +1

Planetary cores consist of liquid metals (low Prandtl number ) that convect as the core cools. Here we study nonlinear convection in a rotating (low Ekman number ) planetar…

Subcritical convection of liquid metals in a rotating sphere using a quasi-geostrophic model

Celine Guervilly, Philippe Cardin

We study nonlinear convection in a rapidly rotating sphere with internal heating for values of the Prandtl number relevant for liquid metals (). We use a nu…

Magneto--Coriolis waves in a spherical Couette flow experiment

Denys Schmitt, Philippe Cardin, Patrick La Rizza +1

The dynamics of fluctuations in a fast rotating spherical Couette flow experiment in the presence of a strong dipolar magnetic field is investigated in detail, through a thorough a…
