Robust wall modes and their interplay with bulk turbulence in confined rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Xander M. de Wit, Wouter J. M. Boot, Matteo Madonia +2
In confined rotating convection, a strong zonal flow can develop close to the side wall with a modal structure that precesses anti-cyclonically (counter to the applied rotation) al…
Reynolds number scaling and energy spectra in geostrophic convection
Matteo Madonia, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Herman J. H. Clercx +1
We report flow measurements in rotating Rayleigh--Bénard convection in the rotationally-constrained geostrophic regime. We apply stereoscopic particle image velocimetry to measure…
Velocimetry in rapidly rotating convection: spatial correlations, flow structures and length scales
Matteo Madonia, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Herman J. H. Clercx +1
Rotating Rayleigh--Bénard convection is an oft-employed model system to evaluate the interplay of buoyant forcing and Coriolis forces due to rotation, an eminently relevant interac…
Frictional boundary layer effect on vortex condensation in rotating turbulent convection
Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Matteo Madonia, Jonathan S. Cheng +3
We perform direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh--Bénard convection of fluids with low () and high () Prandtl numbers in a horizontally periodic layer wit…
Turbulent rotating convection confined in a slender cylinder: the sidewall circulation
Xander M. de Wit, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Matteo Madonia +3
Recent studies of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection at high rotation rates and strong thermal forcing have shown a significant discrepancy in total heat transport between experim…
Laboratory Exploration of Heat Transfer Regimes in Rapidly Rotating Turbulent Convection
Jonathan S. Cheng, Matteo Madonia, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán +1
We report heat transfer and temperature profile measurements in laboratory experiments of rapidly rotating convection in water under intense thermal forcing (Rayleigh number a…
