 Experimental surface waves : turbulence, shock waves and interaction with a hydrofoil

Guillaume Ricard (LPENSL)

Experimental surface waves : turbulence, shock waves and interaction with a hydrofoil

Jeudi 8 janvier 2026, 11h, Amphi 3, bât. W1, ECL

Wave dynamics at the surface of the ocean are a key phenomenon to understand the exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere. However, many wave phenomena are still far from being fully (...)

 One Cascade, Many Scales: A Unified Model of Low-Frequency Plasma Turbulence

Vincent David (Dartmouth College)

One Cascade, Many Scales: A Unified Model of Low-Frequency Plasma Turbulence

Jeudi 15 janvier 2026, 14h, Amphi Seguin, INSA Lyon

A central problem in space and astrophysical plasmas is to understand how a weakly collisional medium is heated by turbulence. In such systems, the cascade is not free to develop in the manner (...)

 Entrainment in gravity currents over complex boundaries

Claudia Adduce, Rome, La Sapienza

Entrainment in gravity currents over complex boundaries

Mercredi 10 Décembre, 11h, Amphi Seguin, INSA Lyon

Gravity currents are flows caused by a density difference between two fluids, which can be due to temperature and salinity gradients or sediment concentration. Gravity currents can occur in the (...)

 Characterizing large-scale intermittency in stratified turbulence: advanced coarse-graining and neural network approaches

Raffaello Foldes (LMFA)

Characterizing large-scale intermittency in stratified turbulence: advanced coarse-graining and neural network approaches

Reporté

We investigate the dynamics and dimensional complexity of stratified turbulent flows governed by the Boussinesq equations, combining analytical and data-driven modeling. Stratified turbulence, as (...)

 Lagragian particles and time-irreversibility in Rotating Stratified Turbulence

Fabio Feraco (LMFA)

Lagragian particles and time-irreversibility in Rotating Stratified Turbulence

Jeudi 20 Novembre, 11h, ECL (bât. W1, amphi 3)

Lagrangian particles are widely used to investigate dispersion in environmental flows, as they allow for the simultaneous integration of statistics in both space and time, making them (...)

 Turbulent two-phase interfaces in environmental flows

Amélie Ferran (NTNU Trondheim)

Turbulent two-phase interfaces in environmental flows

Jeudi 13 Novembre, 11h, ECL (Bat W1, amphi 3)

Turbulent flows are omnipresent in nature and often involve interactions between multiple phases. They range from particle-laden flows with a dispersed phase, such as droplets in atmospheric (...)

Nathalie Favretto-Cristini (Aix Marseille U.)

Challenges related to assessing underwater noise pollution and seismic risks generated by human activities in shallow water environments

Jeudi 30 Octobre, 11h, ECL (Bat W1, amphi 3)

Assessing the impact of human activities on the marine environment is a prerequisite for the authorization of offshore projects (EU directive). It is also a necessary step in the search for (...)

 A self-consistent numerical model of internal wave-induced mean flow oscillations in polar geometry

Florentin Daniel (Northwestern U.)

A self-consistent numerical model of internal wave-induced mean flow oscillations in polar geometry

Jeudi 16 Octobre, 11h, ECL (Bat W1, amphi 3)

Decades of observations of the Earth’s equatorial stratosphere reveal a regular oscillation where winds alternate between eastern and western directions. Similar phenomena have also been detected (...)
