Thiabendazole, a benzimidazole fungicide, is widely used to prevent yield loss in agricultural land by inhibiting plant diseases derived from fungi. As thiabendazole has a stable benzimidazole ring structure, it remains in the environment for an extended period, and its toxic effects on non-target organisms have been reported, indicating the possibility that it could threaten public health. However, little research has been conducted to elucidate the comprehensive mechanisms of its developmental

Abstract The stability of the flow between two concentric cylinders is studied numerically and analytically when the fluid is stably stratified. We show that such flow is unstable when the angular velocity $\Omega (r)$ increases along the radial direction, a regime never explored before. The instability is highly non-axisymmetric and involves the resonance of two families of inertia–gravity waves like for the strato-rotational instability. The growth rate is maximum when only the outer cylinder

Context. Rotational mixing transports angular momentum and chemical elements in stellar radiative zones. It is one of the key processes for modern stellar evolution. In the past two decades, an emphasis has been placed on the turbulent transport induced by the vertical shear instability. However, instabilities arising from horizontal shear and the strength of the anisotropic turbulent transport that they may trigger remain relatively unexplored. The weakest point of this hydrodynamical theory of

The linear stability of high-speed boundary layers can be altered by distortions to the base velocity and temperature profiles. An analytic expression for the sensitivity is derived for parallel and spatially developing boundary layers, the latter using linear parabolized stability equations and their adjoint. Both the slow mode, S, and the fast mode, F, are investigated at Mach number 4.5. The mode S is more sensitive with respect to distortion in base velocity than in base temperature. The sen

Context. Stellar interiors are the seat of efficient transport of angular momentum all along their evolution. In this context, understanding the dependence of the turbulent transport triggered by the instabilities of the vertical and horizontal shears of the differential rotation in stellar radiation zones as a function of their rotation, stratification, and thermal diffusivity is mandatory. Indeed, it constitutes one of the cornerstones of the rotational transport and mixing theory, which is im

In this paper, we investigate periodic behaviors of the Lorenz–Stenflo equations in wide ranges of parameters. Regimes of periodic solutions and chaotic solutions are computed and distinguished by local maximum values of a dynamic variable Z. Complex behaviors of the periodic solutions are observed inside a regime of the chaotic solutions which is closed and surrounded by a regime of the periodic solutions where a feature of disconnected bifurcations is observed. It is found that not only a regi

Environmental pollutants, including endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, nanomaterials, and pesticides, have been detected in various ecosystems and are of growing global concern. The potential for toxicity to non-target organisms has consistently been raised and is being studied using various animal models. In this review, we focus on pesticides frequently detected in the environment and investigate their potential exposure to livestock. Owing to the reproductive similarities between humans and

This paper investigates the effect of the background rotation on the radiative instability of a columnar Rankine vortex in a strongly stratified fluid. We show that a cyclonic background rotation strongly stabilizes the radiative instability. The modes become neutral when the Rossby number Ro is below a critical value which depends on the azimuthal wavenumber of the wave. In the limit of small Rossby number, there exist fast neutral waves that are not captured by the quasi-geostrophic theory. In

The stability of the Taylor–Couette flow is analysed when there is a stable density stratification along the axial direction and when the flow is centrifugally unstable, i.e. in the Rayleigh-unstable regime. It is shown that not only the centrifugal instability but also the strato-rotational instability can occur. These two instabilities can be explained and well described by means of a Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin–Jeffreys asymptotic analysis for large axial wavenumbers in inviscid and non-diffusi

In this paper, we derive high-order Lorenz–Stenflo equations with 6 variables and investigate periodic behaviors as well as stability of the equations. The stability of the high-order Lorenz–Stenflo equations is investigated by the linear stability analysis for various parameters. A periodicity diagram is also computed and it shows that the high-order Lorenz–Stenflo equations exhibit very different behaviors from the original Lorenz–Stenflo equations for both periodic and chaotic solutions. For

The stably stratified Taylor–Couette flow is investigated experimentally and numerically through linear stability analysis. In the experiments, the stability threshold and flow regimes have been mapped over the ranges of outer and inner Reynolds numbers: $-2000&lt;Re_{o}&lt;2000$ and $0&lt;Re_{i}&lt;3000$ , for the radius ratio $r_{i}/r_{o}=0.9$ and the Brunt–Väisälä frequency $N\approx 3.2~\text{rad}~\text{s}^{-1}$ . The corresponding Froude numbers $F_{o}$ and $F_{i}$ are always much smaller t

Abstract In strongly stratified fluids, an axisymmetric vertical columnar vortex is unstable because of a spontaneous radiation of internal waves. The growth rate of this radiative instability is strongly reduced in the presence of a cyclonic background rotation $f/ 2$ and is smaller than the growth rate of the centrifugal instability for anticyclonic rotation, so it is generally expected to affect vortices in geophysical flows only if the Rossby number $Ro= 2\Omega / f$ is large (where $\Omega
