Diffusivity-Free Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection Experiments
Jewel A. Abbate, Yufan Xu, Tobias Vogt +3
Convection in planets and stars is predicted to occur in the "ultimate regime'' of diffusivity-free, rapidly rotating turbulence, in which flows are characteristically unaffected b…
Seven decades of exploring planetary interiors with rotating convection experiments
Alban Pothérat, Susanne Horn
The interiors of many planets consist mostly of fluid layers. When these layers are subject to superadiabatic temperature or compositional gradients, turbulent convection transport…
The Transition from Wall Modes to Multimodality in Liquid Gallium Magnetoconvection
Yufan Xu, Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Coupled laboratory-numerical experiments of Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in liquid gallium subject to a vertical magnetic field are presented. The experiments are carried out i…
Jump rope vortex flow in liquid metal Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cuboid container of aspect ratio five
Megumi Akashi, Takatoshi Yanagisawa, Ataru Sakuraba +4
We study the topology and the temporal dynamics of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in a liquid metal with a Prandtl number of 0.03 located inside a box with a square base area…
Thermoelectric Precession in Turbulent Magnetoconvection
Yufan Xu, Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
We present laboratory measurements of the interaction between thermoelectric currents and turbulent magnetoconvection. In a cylindrical volume of liquid gallium heated from below a…
Tornado-Like Vortices in the Quasi-Cyclostrophic Regime of Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection
Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Coriolis-centrifugal convection (C) in a cylindrical domain constitutes an idealised model of tornadic storms, where the rotating cylinder represents the mesocyclone of a super…
Oscillatory thermal-inertial flows in liquid metal rotating convection
Tobias Vogt, Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
We present the first detailed thermal and velocity field characterization of convection in a rotating cylindrical tank of liquid gallium, which has thermophysical properties simila…
Connections between Non-Rotating, Slowly Rotating, and Rapidly Rotating Turbulent Convection Transport Scalings
Jonathan M. Aurnou, Susanne Horn, Keith Julien
Buoyancy-driven convection is likely the dominant driver of turbulent motions in the universe, and thus, is widely studied by physicists, engineers, geophysicists and astrophysicis…
Boundary Zonal Flow in Rotating Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection
Xuan Zhang, Dennis P. M. van Gils, Susanne Horn +7
For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh--Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell, experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that repla…
Jump Rope Vortex in Liquid Metal Convection
Tobias Vogt, Susanne Horn, Alexander M. Grannan +1
Understanding large scale circulations (LSCs) in turbulent convective systems is important for the study of stars, planets and in many industrial applications. The canonical model…
Comparison of computational codes for direct numerical simulations of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Gijs L. Kooij, Mikhail A. Botchev, Edo M. A. Frederix +7
Computational codes for direct numerical simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection are compared in terms of computational cost and quality of the solution. As a benchmark case…
Mean Temperature Profiles in Turbulent Thermal Convection
Olga Shishkina, Susanne Horn, Mohammad S. Emran +1
To predict the mean temperature profiles in turbulent thermal convection, the thermal boundary layer (BL) equation including the effects of fluctuations has to be solved. In Shishk…

Olga Shishkina, Susanne Horn, Sebastian Wagner +1
We report a new thermal boundary layer equation for turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection for Prandtl number Pr>1 that takes into account the effect of turbulent fluctuations. These…
