Rotation with thermally induced buoyancy governs many astrophysical and geophysical
processes in the atmosphere, ocean, sun, and Earth's liquid-metal outer core. Rotating …

Here we summarize the results from our direct numerical simulations (DNS) and
experimental measurements on rotating Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) convection. Our …

Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a
systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in …

Centrifugal buoyancy affects all rotating turbulent convection phenomena, but is
conventionally ignored in rotating convection studies. Here, we include centrifugal buoyancy …

Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection in water is studied in direct numerical simulations,
where the temperature dependence of the viscosity, the thermal conductivity, and the density …

In commonly used formulations of the Boussinesq approximation centrifugal buoyancy
effects related to differential rotation, as well as strong vortices in the flow, are neglected …

In Coriolis-centrifugal convection (C 3), buoyancy effects not only drive convective motions
in the vertical direction due to the gravitational acceleration but also in the radial direction …

An important and unresolved issue in rotating thermal turbulence is when the flow starts to
feel the centrifugal effect. This onset problem is studied here by a novel experiment in which …

Plumes due to localized buoyancy sources are of wide interest owing to their prevalence in
many situations. This study investigates the transition from laminar to turbulent dynamics …

Coriolis-centrifugal convection (C 3) in a cylindrical domain constitutes an idealised model
of tornadic storms, where the rotating cylinder represents the mesocyclone of a supercell …
