Bérengère Dubrulle (born 1965) is a French astrophysicist whose research involves the study of turbulence and vortices in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, and their application in modeling planet formation and climate change.
She was a student at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles from 1985 to 1989, earning a master's degree in quantum mechanics in 1987 through Pierre and Marie Curie University and defending a Ph.D. in astrophysics in 1990 through Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier University under the direction of Jean-Paul Zahn [fr].
[3] She is affiliated with the Sphynx laboratory (Systèmes Physiques Hors-équilibres hYdrodynamiques éNergie et compleXité, out-of-equilibrium Systems and Physics - HYdrodynamics - eNergy and compleXity) at CEA Paris-Saclay.
[2] The European Geosciences Union gave Dubrulle the 2021 Lewis Fry Richardson Medal "for outstanding contributions to the field of geophysical and astrophysical turbulence, and for a unique approach to the study of experimental turbulent flows using statistical mechanics".
[6] She was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2023, after a nomination from the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics, "for seminal contributions to the theory of fully developed turbulence and astro- and geophysical fluid dynamics in general, and in particular, for illuminating intermittency and the role of multiple states in turbulent flows".
