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 …

Tidal interactions between moons and planets can have major effects on the orbits, spins,
and thermal evolution of the moons. In the Saturn system, tidal dissipation in the planet …

Since 20 years, a large population of close-in planets orbiting various classes of low-mass
stars (from M-type to A-type stars) has been discovered. In such systems, the dissipation of …

We study the orbital evolution of hot Jupiters due to the excitation and damping of tidally
driven g-modes within solar-type host stars. Linearly resonant g-modes (the dynamical tide) …

Tidal dissipation in star–planet systems can occur through various mechanisms, among
which is the elliptical instability. This acts on elliptically deformed equilibrium tidal flows in …

We study tidal dissipation in hot Jupiter host stars due to the nonlinear damping of tidally
driven g-modes, extending the calculations of Essick & Weinberg to a wide variety of stellar …

We perform one of the first studies into the non-linear evolution of tidally excited inertial
waves in a uniformly rotating fluid body, exploring a simplified model of the fluid envelope of …

The combination of elliptical deformation of streamlines and vorticity can lead to the
destabilization of any rotating flow via the elliptical instability. Such a mechanism has been …

In close exoplanetary systems, tidal interactions drive orbital and spin evolution of planets
and stars over long time-scales. Tidally forced inertial waves (restored by the Coriolis …

The growing body of observational data on extrasolar planets and protoplanetary disks has
stimulated intense research on planet formation and evolution in the past few years. The …
