Turbulent geophysical flows above topography
SPHYNX : Soft matter and complex fluidsParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayThe project is focused on the large-scale organization and the energy budget of idealized oceanic flows above random topography. We will first characterize the enhanced energy dissipation due to the… -
Experimental study of boundary layers in turbulent convection by diffusive waves spectroscopy
SPHYNX : Soft matter and complex fluidsParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayTurbulent convection is one of the main drivers of geophysical and astrophysical flows, and is therefore a key element in climate modeling. It is also involved in many industrial flows. Transport… -
Can we predict the weather or the climate?
SPHYNX : Theoretical PhysicsParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayAccording to everyone’s experience, predicting the weather reliably for more than a few days seems an impossible task for our best weather agencies. Yet, we all know of examples of “weather … -
