We present experimental measurements of velocity and temperature fields in horizontal
planes crossing a cylindrical Rayleigh–Bénard convection cell in steady rotation about its …

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 …

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

The heat transfer and flow structure in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection are strongly
influenced by the Rayleigh (Ra), Prandtl (Pr), and Rossby (Ro) numbers. For Pr≳ 1 and …

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 …

Numerical and experimental data for the heat transfer as a function of the Rossby number
Ro in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection are presented for the Prandtl number …

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) …

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 …

Weakly rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection was studied experimentally and
numerically. With increasing rotation and large enough Rayleigh number a supercritical …

We report heat transport measurements and optical shadowgraph visualization of rotating
Rayleigh-Bénard convection. For dimensionless rotation rates 140< Ω< 4300, the initial …
