Large-scale Vortices in Rapidly Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection at Small Prandtl number
Tao Cai
One prominent feature in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn is the appearance of large-scale vortices. However, the sustaining mechanism of these large-scale vortices remains un…
Convectively coupled equatorial trapped waves in stars and planets
Tao Cai, Cong Yu, Xing Wei
In this paper, we have studied the convectively coupled equatorially trapped waves in rotating stars, with and without magnetic field. The equatorial trapped HD and MHD Poincaré, R…
Deep, Closely-Packed, Long-Lived Cyclones on Jupiter's Poles
Tao Cai, Kwing L. Chan, Hans G. Mayr
Juno Mission to Jupiter has found closely-packed cyclones at the planet's two poles. The observation that these cyclones coexist in very confined space, with outer rims almost touc…
Enhancement of wave transmissions in multiple radiative and convective zones
Tao Cai, Cong Yu, Xing Wei
In this paper, we study wave transmission in a rotating fluid with multiple alternating convectively stable and unstable layers. We have discussed wave transmissions in two differe…
Upward Overshooting in Turbulent Compressible Convection. III. Calibrate Parameters for One-dimensional Reynolds Stress Model
Tao Cai
In this paper, we calibrate the coefficients for the one-dimensional Reynolds stress model with the data generated from the three-dimensional numerical simulations of upward oversh…
Upward Overshooting in Turbulent Compressible Convection. I.Effects of the relative stability parameter, the Prandtl number, and the Péclet number
Tao Cai
In this paper, we investigate the upward overshooting by three-dimensional numerical simulations. We find that the above convectively stable zone can be partitioned into three laye…
