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 ($Pr=0.1$) and high ($Pr=5$) Prandtl numbers in a horizontally periodic layer wit…
