Waves and Instabilities in Geophysical and Astrophysical Flows

Astrophysics / Geophysics

Organized by J. Aurnou (UCLA), M. Le Bars, S. Le Dizès, P. Le Gal, P. Meunier (IRPHE), P. Marcus (Berkeley)

https://www.irphe.fr/~meunier/Workshop2.html

02/03/13 - 02/08/13

Les Houches, France, Les Houches, France

The goal of this winterschool is to bring together leading experts from astrophysical and geophysical communities, in order to discuss flows where stratification, rotation and magnetic field play an important role. Emphasis will be put on simple models of oceans, atmosphere and planet interiors, where basic phenomena such as waves and instabilities can be described theoretically.

Topics:
*Instabilities in stratified and rotating flows
* Wave-vortices coupling in geophysics
* Hydrodynamics of planetary cores and stars
* Waves and instabilities in accretion disks
* Generation of magnetic field by dynamos
* MHD waves in stellar systems
