Tidal Dissipation in Stars and Giant Planets [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 Astrophysical fluid bodies that orbit close to one another induce tidal distortions and flows that are subject to dissipative processes. The spin and orbital motions undergo a coupled evolution over astronomical timescales, which is relevant for many types of binary star, short-period extrasolar planetary systems, and the satellites of the giant ...

Tidal Deformation and Dissipation Processes in Icy Worlds. [PDF]
Space Sci RevAbstract Tidal interactions play a key role in the dynamics and evolution of icy worlds. The intense tectonic activity of Europa and the eruption activity on Enceladus are clear examples of the manifestation of tidal deformation and associated dissipation. While tidal heating has long been recognized as a major driver in the activity of these

The surface signature of the tidal dissipation of the core in a two-layer planet [PDF]
, 2014 Tidal dissipation, which is directly linked to internal structure, is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive systems evolution and govern their architecture.

Tidal Dissipation in Stratified and Semi-convective Regions of Giant Planets
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study how stably stratified or semi-convective layers alter the tidal dissipation rates associated with the generation of internal waves in planetary interiors.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study how stably stratified or semiconvective layers alter tidal dissipation rates associated with the generation of inertial, gravito-inertial, interfacial, and surface gravity waves in rotating giant planets.

Measuring tidal dissipation in giant planets from tidal circularization
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT In this project, we determined the constraints on the modified tidal quality factor, $Q_{\rm pl}^{\prime }$, of gas-giant planets orbiting close to their host stars. We allowed $Q_{\rm pl}^{\prime }$ to depend on tidal frequency, accounting for the multiple tidal waves with time-dependent frequencies simultaneously present on ...

Stellar evolution and tidal dissipation in REBOUNDx [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT To study the post-main sequence evolution of the Solar system and exoplanetary systems more accurately and efficiently, we introduce two new features to reboundx, an extended library for the N-body integrator rebound. The first is a convenient parameter interpolator for coupling different physics and integrators using numerical ...

Numerical modeling of internal tides and submesoscale turbulence in the US Caribbean regional ocean
Scientific Reports, 2023 The US Caribbean ocean circulation is governed by an influx of Atlantic water through the passages between Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Virgin Islands, and an interplay of the Caribbean Sea water with the local topography of the region.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We simulate the nonlinear hydrodynamical evolution of tidally excited inertial waves in convective envelopes of rotating stars and giant planets modeled as spherical shells containing incompressible, viscous, and adiabatically stratified fluid.

Tidal forcing, energetics, and mixing near the Yermak Plateau [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2015 The Yermak Plateau (YP), located northwest of Svalbard in Fram Strait, is the final passage for the inflow of warm Atlantic Water into the Arctic Ocean. The region is characterized by the largest barotropic tidal velocities in the Arctic Ocean.
