Mixing in fluids: irregular transport, enhanced dissipation, and applications

Speaker: Anna Mazzucato Abstract: Stirring and mixing in fluids, specifically incompressible fluids, have importantconsequences on many physical and biological processes, from dispersal of pollutants totransport of nutrients. From a mathematical point of view, mixing can be studied indifferent contexts, from… Read moreMixing in fluids: irregular transport, enhanced dissipation, and applications

Direct visualization of the quantum vortex lattice structure, oscillations, and
destabilization in rotating 4He

Speaker: Mathieu Gibert Abstract: Quantum vortices are a core element of superfluid dynamics and elusivelyhold the keys to our understanding of energy dissipation in these systems. We show thatwe can visualize these vortices in the canonical and higher-symmetry case of… Read moreDirect visualization of the quantum vortex lattice structure, oscillations, and<br>destabilization in rotating 4He

Unidimensional surface wave turbulence, transition to a shock wave regime,
intermittency and Anderson localization

Speaker: Guillaume Ricard Abstract: Wave turbulence is a phenomenon in which many weakly nonlinear wavesinteract with each other. The theory of weak turbulence describes this phenomenon inmany domains in physics. It is however essential to know the experimental range ofvalidity… Read moreUnidimensional surface wave turbulence, transition to a shock wave regime,<br>intermittency and Anderson localization

Kinetic equation of weakly nonlinear internal gravity waves: Theory and Numerics

Speaker: Vincent Labarre Abstract: Internal gravity waves propagating in stratified flows are an importantcomponent of geophysical and astrophysical systems, encompassing a wide range ofscales. In the weakly nonlinear regime, these waves interact through nonlinear resonanttriadic interactions, leading to a mixing… Read moreKinetic equation of weakly nonlinear internal gravity waves: Theory and Numerics
