Abstract Changes in the Earth's rotation are deeply connected to fluid dynamical processes
in the outer core. This connection can be explored by studying the associated Earth …

Motivated by modelling rotating turbulence in planetary fluid layers, we investigate
precession-driven flows in ellipsoids subject to stress-free boundary conditions (SF-BC). The …

Pancake-like vortices are often generated by turbulence in geophysical flows. Here, we
study the inertia-gravity oscillations that can exist within such geophysical vortices, due to …

Inertial waves in convective regions of stars exhibit topological properties linked to a Chern
number of 1. The first of these is a unique, unidirectional, prograde oscillation mode within …

Observational constraints on Mercury's thermal evolution and magnetic field indicate that the
top part of the fluid core is stably stratified. Here we compute how a stable layer affects the …

Planetary magnetic fields are generated by motions of electrically conducting fluids in their
interiors. The dynamo problem has thus received much attention in spherical geometries …

The acoustic modes of a rotating fluid-filled cavity can be used to determine the effective
rotation rate of a fluid (since the resonant frequencies are modified by the flows). To be …
