Statistics of Quasi-Geostrophic Vortex Patches
The statistics of quasi-gestrophic point vortices and spherical vortex patches are investigated theoretically and numerically, in order to understand fundamental aspects of quasi-geostrophic turbulence. The nu...

The Breakdown of a Columnar Vortex with Axial Flow
The interaction between a columnar vortex and external turbulence is investigated numerically. The formation of turbulent eddies around the columnar vortex and the vortex-core deformations are studied in detai...
