Dimensional transition in rotating turbulence

E Deusebio, G Boffetta, E Lindborg, S Musacchio - Physical Review E, 2014‏ - APS
In this work we investigate, by means of direct numerical hyperviscous simulations, how
rotation affects the bidimensionalization of a turbulent flow. We study a thin layer of fluid …

Experimental observation of steady inertial wave turbulence in deep rotating flows

E Yarom, E Sharon - Nature Physics, 2014‏ - nature.com
The theoretical framework that should be used for describing rotating turbulence,, is the
subject of an active debate. It was shown experimentally, and numerically, that the formalism …

Critical balance in magnetohydrodynamic, rotating and stratified turbulence: towards a universal scaling conjecture

SV Nazarenko, AA Schekochihin - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2011‏ - cambridge.org
It is proposed that critical balance–a scale-by-scale balance between the linear propagation
and nonlinear interaction time scales–can be used as a universal scaling conjecture for …

Structure formation in homogeneous freely decaying rotating turbulence

PJ Staplehurst, PA Davidson… - Journal of Fluid …, 2008‏ - cambridge.org
One of the most striking features of rotating turbulence is the inevitable appearance of large-
scale columnar structures. Whilst these structures are frequently observed, the processes by …

Influence of planetary rotation on metal-silicate mixing and equilibration in a magma ocean

Q Kriaa, M Landeau, M Le Bars - Physics of the Earth and Planetary …, 2024‏ - Elsevier
At a late stage of its accretion, the Earth experienced high-energy planetary impacts.
Following each collision, the metal core of the impactor sank into molten silicate magma …

Isotropization at small scales of rotating helically driven turbulence

PD Mininni, D Rosenberg, A Pouquet - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2012‏ - cambridge.org
We present numerical evidence of how three-dimensionalization occurs at small scale in
rotating turbulence with Beltrami () forcing, creating helical flow. The Zeman scale at which …

Anisotropy and nonuniversality in scaling laws of the large-scale energy spectrum in rotating turbulence

A Sen, PD Mininni, D Rosenberg, A Pouquet - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2012‏ - APS
Rapidly rotating turbulent flow is characterized by the emergence of columnar structures that
are representative of quasi-two-dimensional behavior of the flow. It is known that when …

Decay laws, anisotropy and cyclone–anticyclone asymmetry in decaying rotating turbulence

F Moisy, C Morize, M Rabaud… - Journal of Fluid …, 2011‏ - cambridge.org
The effect of a background rotation on the decay of grid-generated turbulence is investigated
from experiments using the large-scale 'Coriolis' rotating platform. A first transition occurs at …

Scaling laws for mixing and dissipation in unforced rotating stratified turbulence

A Pouquet, D Rosenberg, R Marino… - Journal of Fluid …, 2018‏ - cambridge.org
We present a model for the scaling of mixing in weakly rotating stratified flows characterized
by their Rossby, Froude and Reynolds numbers, and smaller buoyancy fluxes together …
