The flow phenomena in geo-astro-physical systems are influenced by many factors (such as rotation, stratification, thermal/magnetic effects, etc.), and thus exhibit rich and complex dynamics. For example, under the action of rotation, the stratified fluids in the celestial body often develop into vortex structures at the poles and strip-like structures near the equator; and the combination of temperature and magnetic fields often leads to the formation of large-scale flares such as sunspots. It is of great scientific significance to understand the mechanisms of these complex flow phenomena, which will help to reveal the internal structures and evolution dynamics of geo-astro-physical systems.

The research contents in this direction include, but not limited to, the fluid dynamics coupled with multi-physics fields and the corresponding energy transport efficiency, the generation and evolution of various large-scale flow structures, and the dynamo effect inside celestial bodies. Through combining with experiment, numerical simulation, theoretical analysis and modeling, we aim to provide new perspectives on the geo-astro-physical fluid dynamics, and thereby promote the development of these fields.
