Abstract: We consider fluid-filled spheres and spheroidal containers of eccentricity ϵ in rapid rotation, as a proxy for the interior dynamics of stars and planets. The fluid motion is assumed to be quasi-geostrophic (QG): horizontal motions… read more here.

Abstract: The focus of this study is to investigate primary and secondary bifurcations to weakly nonlinear flows (weak branch) in convective rotating spheres in a regime where only strongly nonlinear oscillatory suband supercritical flows (strong branch)… read more here.
