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

Laboratory observations of thermal convection in a rotating system are described. In our
rotating table experiments, an initially steady, unstratified fluid is subjected to a buoyancy …

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 …

Convection in rotating systems exhibits a rich variety of phenomena not only because of the
additional parameter of rotation but also because in addition to the static solution there exist …

We report the results of laboratory experiments on high Rayleigh number thermal convection
in a rotating hemispherical shell at Ekman number of Ek= 4.7× 10− 6. We use the combined …

'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 controls many observed features of stars and planets, such as
magnetic fields, atmospheric jets and emitted heat flux patterns,,,,,. It has long been argued …

In recent years, helioseismology has provided an unprecedented look at the dynamics of the
solar interior. These new insights have been accompanied by tremendous advances in high …

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 …

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 …
