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 …

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 …
Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection, the flow in a rotating fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, is used to analyse the transition to the geostrophic regime of thermal …

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 …

Global differences of temperature and buoyancy flux at the ocean surface are responsible for small-scale convection at high latitudes, global overturning, and the top-to-bottom density …

We study the effect of stratification and compressibility on the threshold of convection and the heat transfer by developed convection in the nonlinear regime in the presence of strong …
Turbulent convection induced by heating the bottom boundary of a horizontally homogeneous, linearly (temperature) stratified, rotating fluid layer is studied using a series …

Two idealisations of horizontally homogenous convection are commonly studied by numerical simulation and laboratory experiment. Rayleigh-Benard convection assumes a …

Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a simple model system used to study the interplay of buoyant forcing and rotation. Many recent studies have focused on the geostrophic …
