Atmospheric and oceanic convection often occurs over areas occupied by many localized
circulation elements known as plumes. The convective transports therefore may depend not …

Convective plumes emanating from fixed buoyant sources such as volcanoes, hot springs
and oil spills are common in the atmosphere and the ocean. Most of what we know about …

Convection, generated by destabilising buoyancy forcing, is a significant source of vertical
mixing in the ocean and atmosphere. Ensembles of convective elements or plumes transport …

We present measurements of temperature fluctuations in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard
convection. The temperature variance exhibits power-law dependence on the fluid height …

Turbulent Boussinesq convection under the influence of rapid rotation (ie with comparable
characteristic rotation and convection timescales) is studied. The transition to turbulence …

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 …

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 …

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

Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is an oft-employed model system to evaluate the
interplay of buoyant forcing and Coriolis forces due to rotation, an eminently relevant …
