A simple mechanistic model to explain the thermal offset observed in highly turbulent
rotating convection experiments is presented. The experiments indicate that for sufficiently …

Laboratory results for high Rayleigh number convection in a rotating cylinder heated from
below are presented. Time series of temperature fluctuations reveal:(a) There is a large …

We report heat transport measurements in a cylindrical convection apparatus rotating about
the vertical axis. The aspect ratio was 1/2. The working fluid was cryogenic helium gas and …

In this Letter we report experimental evidence that rotation enhances vertical inhomogeneity
in turbulent convection, in spite of the increased columnar flow ordering under rotation …

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of rotation on turbulent
convection. The experimental facility was a bottom-heated, water-filled, cubical tank …

We report on turbulent thermal convection experiments in a rotating cylinder with a diameter
(is not associated with a change of the flow morphology, but is rather the rotation rate for …

We present experimental measurements of velocity and temperature fields in horizontal
planes crossing a cylindrical Rayleigh–Bénard convection cell in steady rotation about its …

During the past two decades, numerous laboratory experiments have been performed to
understand the influence of rotation and stratification on turbulence induced by thermal …

Many flows in nature and technology are driven by buoyant convection and subsequently
modulated by rotation. Typical and highly relevant examples are found in the large-scale …

Centrifugal buoyancy forces in a container rotating about an axis aligned with gravity lead to
mean flows that interact with rotating convection. A model of the interactions between these …
