Recent studies of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection at high rotation rates and strong thermal forcing have shown a significant discrepancy in total heat transport between …
When the classical Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) system is rotated about its vertical axis roughly three regimes can be identified. In regime I (weak rotation) the large-scale circulation (LSC) …

Measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of properties of the large-scale circulation (LSC) for turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection are presented in the presence of rotation …
Vortical columns are key features of rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection. In this work we probe the structure of the sidewall boundary layers experimentally and show …

For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell, experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that …

We report on the influence of rotation about a vertical axis on the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a cylindrical vessel with aspect ratio …
The influence of rotation on turbulent convection is investigated with direct numerical simulation. The classical Rayleigh-Bénard configuration is augmented with steady rotation …
Here we summarize the results from our direct numerical simulations (DNS) and experimental measurements on rotating Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection. Our …
The effect of rotation on the boundary layers (BLs) in a Rayleigh–Bénard system at a relatively low Rayleigh number, ie, Ra= 4× 10 7, is studied for different Pr by direct …
