Böning, Vincent

Research Interests:

Statistics of turbulent flows, especially solar and planetary interior convection; emergence of large-scale flows like differential rotation, planetary jets, meridional flows, large-scale features like solar supergranulation and Saturn´s polar hexagon; seismology of the Sun and planets; non-linear interactions; solar g-modes.
Methods: Analytical modelling, data analysis, perturbation theory, numerical fluid dynamic simulations, inverse methods, stochastic processes, time series analysis.
