Experimental study of libration-driven zonal flows in non-axisymmetric containers

► We study experimentally the mean flow driven by longitudinal libration in axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric containers. ► We corroborate the analytical prediction of mean zonal flow driven by non-linear interaction in the Ekman boundary layer. ► We report intermittent instability in the bulk of th...
