Internal heating in rapidly rotating convection is not a shortcut to geostrophic turbulence

Justin A. Nicoski, Tobias G. Oliver, Stefano Maffei +1

Convective turbulence in planets and stars is often driven by internal heating. This forcing mechanism has also been proposed as a means of accessing the diffusion-free scalings of…

Rapidly rotating internally heated convection: bounds on long-time averages

Yutong Zhang, Ali Arslan, Stefano Maffei +1

Convection on geophysical and astrophysical scales is subject to rapid rotation and strong heating from within the domain. In studying the long-time behaviour of the solutions for…

A numerical investigation of quasi-static magnetoconvection with an imposed horizontal magnetic field

Michael A. Calkins, Talal AlRefae, Angel Hernandez +2

Quasi-static Rayleigh-Bénard convection with an imposed horizontal magnetic field is investigated numerically for Chandrasekhar numbers up to with stress free boundary con…

On the inverse cascade and flow speed scaling behavior in rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection

S. Maffei, M. J. Krouss, K. Julien +1

Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is investigated numerically with the use of an asymptotic model that captures the rapidly rotating, small Ekman number limit, …

Heat transfer and flow regimes in quasi-static magnetoconvection with a vertical magnetic field

Ming Yan, Michael A. Calkins, Stefano Maffei +3

Numerical simulations of quasi-static magnetoconvection with a vertical magnetic field are carried out up to a Chandrasekhar number of over a broad range of Rayleigh numbe…

Magnetic quenching of the inverse cascade in rapidly rotating convective turbulence

Stefano Maffei, Michael A. Calkins, Keith Julien +1

We present results from an asymptotic magnetohydrodynamic model that is suited for studying the rapidly rotating, low viscosity regime typical of the electrically conducting fluid…
