Description
Gravitational waves from primordial first order phase transitions
offer interesting possibilities to probe physical processes at high
energy scales, in the early universe. Several GW sources can act
during, and in the aftermath, of the phase transition. Among these,
this talk concentrates on the turbulent motion possibly generated in
the surrounding plasma, and possibly accompanied by a magnetic field.
I will present the outcome of (M)HD simulations as well as an
analytical modelling of the turbulence, and discuss observational
prospects at both LISA and PTA.
