Research: Waves, instabilities, vortices and turbulence

• Rotating turbulence
  • Gyroflow: A rotating platform for geophysical fluid dynamics
  • Experiment at the Coriolis rotating plateform (collaboration with J. Sommeria, LEGI, Grenoble)
  • Inertial waves in a rotating fluid
  • Former small scale rotating platform
• Free surface measurement by Free-Surface Synthetic Schlieren (FS-SS)
  • Some applications of the method
  • A tutorial for implementing a FS-SS system
• Turbulent buoyant mixing

• Flow between rotating disks (collaborations with O. Daube, CEMIF / LME, and C. Nore, LIMSI).
• High vorticity structures in isotropic turbulence (collaboration with J. Jiménez, School of Aeronautics, Madrid).
• Pressure measurements in stretched vortices (with P. Petitjeans, PMMH, ESPCI, Paris).
• Low-pressure filaments in turbulence using cavitation (with E. Bodenschatz, Cornell University / Max Planck Institute).
• Turbulence in low temperature helium (PhD thesis, supervised by P. Tabeling, LPS - ENS, Paris).
