Boundary layers in rotating weakly turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection

Richard J. A. M. Stevens, Herman J. H. Clercx, Detlef Lohse

The effect of rotation on the boundary layers (BLs) in a Rayleigh-Benard (RB) system at a relatively low Rayleigh number, i.e. $Ra=4\times 10^7$, is studied for different Pr by di…
