We consider the stochastic inviscid Leray-$\alpha$ model on the torus driven by transport noise. Under a suitable scaling of the noise, we prove that the weak solutions converge, in some negative Sobolev spaces, to the unique solution of…

Although the Shakura-Sunyaev $\alpha$ viscosity prescription has been highly successful in characterizing myriad astrophysical environments, it has proven to be partly inadequate in modelling turbulent stresses driven by the MRI. Hence, we…

Large earthquakes can trigger translational oscillations of Earth's inner core (Slichter modes), yet their damping remains uncertain. Using simulations, we quantify viscous and Ohmic dissipation in the fluid outer core. Earth's rotation…

Hydrodynamics predicts long-lived sound and shear waves. Thermal fluctuations in these waves can lead to the diffusion of momentum density, contributing to the shear viscosity and other transport coefficients. Within viscous hydrodynamics…

We calculate tidal torque due to semi-diurnal thermal tides in rotating hot Jupiters, taking account of the effects of radiative cooling in the envelope and of the planets rotation on the tidal responses. We use a simple Jovian model…
