One of the most prominent dynamical features of turbulent, rapidly rotating convection is the formation of large-scale coherent structures, driven by Reynolds stresses resulting from the …
In this paper, we present numerical simulations of rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in the Boussinesq approximation with stress-free boundary conditions. At …

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 …
For rotationally constrained convection, the Taylor–Proudman theorem enforces an organization of nonlinear flows into tall columnar or compact plume structures. While …

We present optical shadowgraph flow visualization and heat transport measurements of Rayleigh–Bénard convection with rotation about a vertical axis. The fluid, water with Prandtl …
We investigate the flow patterns in a cylindrical rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell with radius-to-height ratio Γ= 0.5. The Rayleigh number R is 2× 108, the dimensionless …
We perform direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RRBC) of fluids with low (Pr= 0.1) and high (Pr≈ 5) Prandtl numbers in a horizontally periodic layer …
