Penetrative magneto-convection of a rotating Boussinesq flow in -planes
Fan Xu, Tao Cai
In this study, we conducted a linear instability analysis of penetrative magneto-convection in rapidly rotating Boussinesq flows within tilted f-planes, under the influence of a un…
Spontaneous Generated Convective Anticyclones in Low Latitude -- A Model for the Great Red Spot
Tao Cai, Kwing L. Chan, Kim-Chiu Chow
The Great Red Spot at about latitude of Jupiter has been observed for hundreds of years, yet the driving mechanism on the formation of this giant anticyclone still re…
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…
Inertial and gravity wave transmissions near radiative-convective boundaries
Tao Cai, Cong Yu, Xing Wei
In this paper, we study the inertial and gravity wave transmissions near the radiative-convective boundaries in the {\it f}-plane. Two configurations have been considered: waves pr…
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…
Numerical Analysis of Nonlocal Convection --- Comparison with Three-dimensional Numerical Simulations of Efficient Turbulent Convection
Tao Cai
We compare 1D nonlocal turbulent convection models with 3D hydrodynamic numerical simulations. We study the validity of closure models and turbulent coefficients by varying the Pra…
