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…
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…
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…
