One Cascade, Many Scales: A Unified Model of Low-Frequency Plasma Turbulence

Vincent David (Dartmouth College)

One Cascade, Many Scales: A Unified Model of Low-Frequency Plasma Turbulence

Jeudi 15 janvier 2026, 14h, Amphi Seguin, INSA Lyon

A central problem in space and astrophysical plasmas is to understand how a weakly collisional medium is heated by turbulence. In such systems, the cascade is not free to develop in the manner (...)

Experimental surface waves : turbulence, shock waves and interaction with a hydrofoil

Jeudi 8 janvier 2026, 11h, Amphi 3, bât. W1, ECL

Wave dynamics at the surface of the ocean are a key phenomenon to understand the exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere. However, many wave phenomena are still far from being fully (...)
