Abstract
Elliptical instability may be excited in any rotating flow with elliptically deformed streamlines.Investigating this instability in containers with spheroidal or ellipsoidal boundaries is of geophysical and astrophysical interest as many stars and planets are either rotating ellipsoidal fluid bodies or have substantial fluid cores which are either ellipsoidal, in the absence of a solid inner core, or ellipsoidal shells such as the Earth's fluid core; elliptical instability may be excited in these bodies as a result of the gravitational pull of a secondary body such as a moon or a large asteroid orbiting these bodies.In this thesis, the nonlinear evolution of elliptical instability in an inviscid incompressible rotating triaxial ellipsoid is numerically studied using the least-square finite element method.After validating the method by reproducing some known results, it is applied to other configurations in order to investigate some open questions on this subject, namely, the effects of the oblateness of the ellipsoid and the frequency ratio of the orbital speed of the secondary body on the evolution of the elliptical instability.We have found that if the parameters of the system, i.e. the flattening ratio and the frequency ratio of the background rotation, are in the range of the spin-over instability, a repetitive three-dimensional rigorous motion is maintained indefinitely; otherwise, instability may be excited initially, once the streamlines become elliptical, for certain ranges of the system parameters; however, as time elapses the motion becomes two dimensional with small displacement amplitudes in xand ydirections.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
