Turbulent Convection in Subglacial Lakes
Louis-Alexandre Couston
Subglacial lakes are isolated, cold-temperature and high-pressure water environments hidden under ice sheets, which might host extreme microorganisms. Here, we use two-dimensional…
Dynamic flows create potentially habitable conditions in Antarctic subglacial lakes
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Martin Siegert
Trapped beneath the Antarctic ice sheet lie over 400 subglacial lakes, which are considered to be extreme, isolated, yet viable habitats for microbial life. The physical conditions…
Aspect ratio affects iceberg melting
Eric W. Hester, Craig D. McConnochie, Claudia Cenedese +2
Iceberg meltwater is a critical freshwater flux from the cryosphere to the oceans. Global climate simulations therefore require simple and accurate parameterisations of iceberg mel…
Landslide Tsunamis in Lakes
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Chiang C Mei, Mohammad-Reza Alam
Landslides plunging into lakes and reservoirs can result in extreme wave runup at shores. This phenomenon has claimed lives and caused damage to near-shore properties. Landslide ts…
Fabry-Perot resonance of water waves
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Qiuchen Guo, Maysamreza Chamanzar +1
We show that significant water wave amplification is obtained in a water resonator consisting of two spatially separated patches of small-amplitude sinusoidal corrugations on an ot…
Topography generation by melting and freezing in a turbulent shear flow
Louis-Alexandre Couston, Eric Hester, Benjamin Favier +3
We report an idealized numerical study of a melting and freezing solid adjacent to a turbulent, buoyancy-affected shear flow, in order to improve our understanding of topography ge…
