Inertial wave attractors in librating cuboids

K Wu, BD Welfert, JM Lopez - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
Perturbed rapidly rotating flows are dominated by inertial oscillations, with restricted group
velocity directions, due to the restorative nature of the Coriolis force. In containers with some …

Comparison of Libration-and Precession-Driven Flows: From Linear Responses to Broadband Dynamics

K Wu, BD Welfert, JM Lopez - Fluids, 2024 - mdpi.com
Libration and precession are different body forces that are ubiquitous in many rapidly
rotating systems, particularly in geophysical and astrophysical flows. Libration is a …

Inertial wave attractors in rapidly rotating tilted cuboids

BD Welfert, JM Lopez, K Wu - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Flows in rapidly rotating fluid-filled containers are strongly constrained by the restorative
Coriolis force. Their responses to small amplitude perturbations may result in the excitation …
