Rossby waves in astrophysics

TV Zaqarashvili, M Albekioni, JL Ballester, Y Bekki… - Space Science …, 2021 - Springer
Rossby waves are a pervasive feature of the large-scale motions of the Earth's atmosphere
and oceans. These waves (also known as planetary waves and r-modes) also play an …

Equatorial magnetohydrodynamic shallow water waves in the solar tachocline

T Zaqarashvili - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The influence of a toroidal magnetic field on the dynamics of shallow water waves in the
solar tachocline is studied. A sub-adiabatic temperature gradient in the upper overshoot …

Edge-coherent oscillation providing nearly continuous transport during edge-localized mode mitigation by n= 1 resonant magnetic perturbation in HL-2A

TF Sun, Y Liu, XQ Ji, YQ Liu, R Ke, JM Gao… - Nuclear …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
An edge-coherent oscillation (ECO) with a bursting feature was observed in the steep-
gradient pedestal region of H-mode plasmas in the HL-2A tokamak, where the type-I edge …

Vorticity wave interaction, Krein collision, and exceptional points in shear flow instabilities

C Meng, Z Guo - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We relate the model of vorticity wave interaction to Krein collision, PT-symmetry breaking,
and the formation of exceptional points in shear flow instabilities. We show that the …

Understanding the destabilizing role for surface tension in planar shear flows in terms of wave interaction

L Biancofiore, E Heifetz, J Hoepffner, F Gallaire - Physical Review Fluids, 2017 - APS
Both surface tension and buoyancy force in stable stratification act to restore perturbed
interfaces back to their initial positions. Hence, both are intuitively considered as stabilizing …

[HTML][HTML] Coupling of damped and growing modes in unstable shear flow

AE Fraser, PW Terry, EG Zweibel, MJ Pueschel - Physics of Plasmas, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
Analysis of the saturation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is undertaken to determine the
extent to which the conjugate linearly stable mode plays a role. For a piecewise-continuous …

Edge-wave phase shifts versus normal-mode phase tilts in an Eady problem with a sloping boundary

J Mak, N Harnik, E Heifetz, G Kumar, EQY Ong - Physical Review Fluids, 2024 - APS
One mechanistic interpretation of baroclinic instability is that of mutual constructive
interference of Rossby edge waves. The suppression of baroclinic instability over slopes has …

Normal form of synchronization and resonance between vorticity waves in shear flow instability

E Heifetz, A Guha - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
A minimal model of linearized two-dimensional shear instabilities can be formulated in terms
of an action-at-a-distance, phase-locking resonance between two vorticity waves, which …

Shear flow instabilities in shallow-water magnetohydrodynamics

J Mak, SD Griffiths, DW Hughes - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016 - cambridge.org
Within the framework of shallow-water magnetohydrodynamics, we investigate the linear
instability of horizontal shear flows, influenced by an aligned magnetic field and stratification …
