The force balance of rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection regimes is investigated using
direct numerical simulation on a laterally periodic domain, vertically bounded by no-slip …

Using direct numerical simulations, we study rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a
cylindrical cell with aspect ratio Γ= 1/2, for Prandtl number 0.8, Ekman number 10− 6, and …

The heat transport in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) can be significantly
enhanced for moderate rotation, ie, for an intermediate range of Rossby numbers Ro …

Background rotation causes different flow structures and heat transfer efficiencies in
Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Three main regimes are known: rotation unaffected, rotation …

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 …

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 …

Turbulent, rapidly rotating convection has been of interest for decades, yet there exists no
generally accepted scaling law for heat transfer behaviour in this system. Here, we develop …

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) …

The heat transport by rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is of fundamental
importance to many geophysical flows. Laboratory measurements are impeded by robust …

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 …
