Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Session ID#: 281875
Session Description:
The purpose of this session is to gather scientists interested in all aspects of the fluid mechanics of the Earth and planets (including interiors, oceans, atmospheres, outer space environments) to foster exchanges between fundamental fluid/plasma and geophysics communities. Thanks to the evolution of high performance computing, the progress in laboratory experiments, and the high resolutions achieved by in-situ and remote
sensing instruments, fundamental research on neutral and magnetized flows has become indispensable to advance knowledge in the geosciences. The main topics of this session are instabilities, energy cascades, mixing as well all the mechanisms underlying the dynamics of
geophysical flows, such as waves, turbulence, boundary layer effects, phase transitions and the coupling with magnetic fields. Studies of rotating, stratified, helical, convecting and/or conductive fluids and plasmas are welcome. Contributions based on state of the art observations, numerical
simulations, machine learning techniques, theoretical models and laboratory experiments will be all well received.
