Wall modes and the transition to bulk convection in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Xuan Zhang, Philipp Reiter, Olga Shishkina +1
We investigate states of rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell over a range of Rayleigh number and Ekman number…
Connecting wall modes and boundary zonal flows in rotating Rayleigh--Bénard convection
Robert E. Ecke, Xuan Zhang, Olga Shishkina
Using direct numerical simulations, we study rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell for a broad range of Rayleigh, Ekman, and Prandtl numbers from the onset of w…
Boundary zonal flows in rapidly rotating turbulent thermal convection
Xuan Zhang, Robert E. Ecke, Olga Shishkina
Recently, in Zhang et al. (2020), it was found that in rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in slender cylindrical containers (with diameter-to-height aspect…
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…
Understanding and modeling turbulent fluxes and entrainment in a gravity current
P. Odier, J. Chen, R. E. Ecke
We present an experimental study of the mixing processes in a gravity current flowing on an inclined plane. The turbulent transport of momentum and density can be described in a ve…
Brittle and Non-Brittle Events in a Continuum-Granular Earthquake Experiment
Drew A. Geller, Robert E. Ecke, Karin A. Dahmen +1
We report moment distribution results from a laboratory earthquake fault experiment consisting of sheared elastic plates separated by a narrow gap filled with a two dimensional gra…
