Rotating turbulence is ubiquitous in nature. Previous works suggest that such turbulence could be described as an ensemble of interacting inertial waves across a wide range of length scales. For turbulence in macroscopic quantum…

We report for the first time on triadic resonances in a rotating convection system. Using direct numerical simulations, we find that convective modes in a rotating spherical fluid can excite a pair of inertial modes whose frequencies and…

Baroclinic instability is a fundamental mechanism driving atmospheric dynamics. In this work, we revisit Pedlosky's two-layer model for finite amplitude baroclinic waves - a seminal framework for studying the unstable growth of finite…
