When discussing research in physics and in science more generally, it is common to ascribe
equal importance to the three components of the scientific trinity: theoretical, experimental …

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous features in the Southern Ocean, yet their phenomenology
is not well quantified. To tackle this task, we use satellite observations of sea level …

Flows in natural fluid layers are often forced simultaneously at scales smaller and much
larger than the depth. For example, the Earth's atmospheric flows are powered by gradients …

We present experimental results on the properties of bounded turbulence in thin fluid layers.
In contrast with the theory of two-dimensional (2D) turbulence, the effects of the bottom …

This paper describes the first observations in the National Spherical Torus Experiment
(NSTX)[SM Kaye et al, Phys. Plasmas 8, 1977 (2001)] of “quiet periods” in the edge …

This work studies two-dimensional fixed-flux Rayleigh–Bénard convection with periodic
boundary conditions in both horizontal and vertical directions and analyses its dynamics …

We present experimental results on turbulence generated in thin fluid layers in the presence
of a large-scale coherent flow, or a spectral condensate. It is shown that the condensate …

This short note is written to call attention to an analytic approach to the interaction of
developed turbulence with mean flows of simple geometry (jets and vortices). It is instructive …

We examine the steady state of turbulent flows in thin layers using direct numerical
simulations. It is shown that when the layer thickness is smaller than a critical height, an …
