We report an experimental study of the instability of a nearly-resonant Kelvin mode forced by precession in a cylindrical vessel. The instability is detected above a critical precession ratio via the appearance of peaks in the temporal…
Strong frequency dependence is unlikely in diffusive or over-damped systems. When exceptions do occur, such as in the case of stochastic resonance, it signals an interesting underlying phenomenon. We find that such a case appears in the…
Mixing and heat transfer rates are typically enhanced when operating at high-pressure transcritical turbulent flow regimes. The rapid variation of thermophysical properties in the vicinity of the pseudo-boiling region can be leveraged to…
