We describe a new numerical 3D relativistic hydrodynamical code, the results of validation tests, and a comparison with earlier, 2D studies. The 3D code has been used to study the deflection and precession of relativistic flows. We find…
A mechanism by which the surface zonal flows of giant planets can be gradually attenuated with depth is explored. The zonal flow is driven by an imposed forcing in a thin layer near the surface. A meridional circulation is set up, analogous…

While a variety of fundamental differences are known to separate two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fluid flows, it is not well understood how they are related. Conventionally, dimensional reduction is justified by an \emph{a…
Zonal winds on Jovian planets play an important role in governing the cloud dynamics, transport of momentum, scalars, and weather patterns. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the evolution of the zonal flows and their sustainability.…

Rapidly rotating turbulent flow is characterized by the emergence of columnar structures that are representative of quasi-two dimensional behavior of the flow. It is known that when energy is injected into the fluid at an intermediate scale…

Shallow flows are common in natural and human-made environments. Even for simple rectangular shallow reservoirs, recent laboratory experiments show that the developing flow fields are particularly complex, involving large-scale turbulent…
The diversity of the structures recently observed in protoplanetary discs (PPDs) with the new generation of high-resolution instruments have made more acute the challenging questions that planet-formation models must answer. The challenge…
A scenario is put forward for the appearance of three-dimensionality both in quasi-2D rotating flows and quasi-2D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. We show that 3D recirculating flows and currents originate in wall boundary layers and that,…
Vortex flows are structures associated with the rotation of the plasma and/or the magnetic field that are present throughout the solar atmosphere. In recent years, their study has become increasingly important, as they are present on a wide…
Here we report the first evidence of the inverse energy cascade in a flow dominated by 3D motions. Experiments are performed in thick fluid layers where turbulence is driven electromagnetically. It is shown that if the free surface of the…
