From Geostrophic to Magnetically-Damped Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Magnetoconvection

Tao Liu, Yufan Xu, Jewel A. Abbate +2

Understanding planetary core convection dynamics requires the study of convective flows in which the Coriolis and Lorentz forces attain a leading-order, so-called magnetostrophic b…

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…

A Heuristic Framework for Next-Generation Models of Geostrophic Convective Turbulence

Jonathan S Cheng, Jonathan M Aurnou, Keith Julien +1

Many geophysical and astrophysical phenomena are driven by turbulent fluid dynamics, containing behaviors separated by tens of orders of magnitude in scale. While direct simulation…

Approaching the Asymptotic Regime of Rapidly Rotating Convection: Boundary Layers vs Interior Dynamics

S. Stellmach, M. Lischper, K. Julien +5

Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied by combining results from direct numerical simulations (DNS), laboratory experiments and asymptotic modeling. The asymptotic…
