Inertial waves propagate in homogeneous rotating fluids, and constitute a challenging and simplified case study for the broader class of inertio-gravity waves, present in all geophysical and astrophysical media, and responsible for…
Internal waves propagate obliquely through a stratified fluid with an angle that is fixed with respect to gravity. Upon reflection on a sloping bed, striking phenomena are expected to occur close to the slope. We present here laboratory…

We present laboratory experiments on turbulence in a linearly stratified fluid driven by an ensemble of internal gravity waves which approaches statistical homogeneity and axi-symmetry. In a way similar to several recent experimental works,…

Using weak wave turbulence theory analysis, we distinguish three main regimes for 2D stratified fluids in the dimensionless parameter space defined by the Froude number and the Reynolds number: discrete wave turbulence, weak wave…
We report the experimental observation of a robust horizontal mean flow induced by internal gravity waves. A wave beam is forced at the lateral boundary of a tank filled with a linearly stratified fluid initially at rest. After a transient…
In rotating stratified flows including in the atmosphere and ocean, inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) often coexist with a geostrophically balanced turbulent flow. Advection and refraction by this flow lead to wave scattering, redistributing IGW…
We show that the phase space of stratified turbulence mainly consists of two slow invariant manifolds with rich physics, embedded on a larger basin with fast evolution. A local invariant manifold in the vicinity of the fluid at equilibrium…
We study surface gravity waves for viscous fluid flows governed by Darcy's law. The free boundary is acted upon by an external pressure posited to be in traveling wave form with a periodic profile. It has been proven that for any given…
The atmosphere is a nonlinear stratified fluid in which internal gravity waves are present. These waves interact with the flow, resulting in wave turbulence that displays important differences with the turbulence observed in isotropic and…
Here we show that there exist internal gravity waves that are inherently unstable, that is, they cannot exist in nature for a long time. The instability mechanism is a one-way (irreversible) harmonic-generation resonance that permanently…
We investigate analytically the propagation of linear waves in a three-dimensional, nonmagnetic, isothermal atmosphere stratified in plane-parallel layers. The motivation is to study oscillations in the non-magnetic chromosphere and to…
In the linear approximation we study long wave scattering on an axially symmetric flow in a shallow water basin with a drain in the center. This classical problem can be considered as a model of wave scattering on a rotating black hole. For…
The standing surface waves in a rectangular vertically oscillating vessel filled with water (Faraday waves) in the presence of a floating elastic sheet are studied experimentally and theoretically. The threshold amplitude of the instability…
Building on a previous study that analyses surface waves in magnetic slabs embedded in a non-magnetic external environment, in this study the model is generalised and external magnetic fields are added. The slab is assumed to be thin, with…
This paper deals with the spectral element modeling of seismic wave propagation at the global scale. Two aspects relevant to low-frequency studies are particularly emphasized. First, the method is generalized beyond the Cowling…
The gravito-inertial waves propagating over a shellular baroclinic flow inside a rotating spherical shell are analysed using the Boussinesq approximation. The wave properties are examined by computing paths of characteristics in the…
Interfacial waves arising in a two-phase swirling flow driven by a low-frequency rotating magnetic field (RMF) are studied. At low RMF frequencies, of the order of 1-10 Hz, the oscillatory part of the induced Lorenz force becomes comparable…
