Rotating horizontal convection

R Barkan, KB Winters, SGL Smith - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013 - cambridge.org
'Horizontal convection'(HC) is the generic name for the flow resulting from a buoyancy
variation imposed along a horizontal boundary of a fluid. We study the effects of rotation on …

Turbulent rotating convection

RPJ Kunnen - 2008 - research.tue.nl
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 …

Penetrative convection in rapidly rotating flows: Preliminary results from numerical simulation

K Julien, S Legg, J McWilliams, J Werne - Dynamics of atmospheres and …, 1996 - Elsevier
Turbulent convection forced by a surface heat flux into a stably stratified region is a feature of
both the atmospheric and oceanic planetary boundary layers. Of particular interest is the …

On convective instabilities in a rotating fluid with stably stratified layer and thermally heterogeneous boundary

S Garai, S Sahoo - Physics of Fluids, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
The onset of convection in a rotating plane layer due to a vertical temperature gradient is
studied in this paper. The background stratification is modulated by lateral temperature …

Rotating horizontal convection

The geostrophic regime of rapidly rotating turbulent convection

RPJ Kunnen - Journal of Turbulence, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a simple model system used to study the interplay
