Suppression of wall modes in rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection by narrow horizontal fins
Louise Terrien, Benjamin Favier, Edgar Knobloch
The heat transport by rapidly-rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is of fundamental importance to many geophysical flows. Laboratory measurements are impeded by robust wall modes w…
Elastic fingering in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell
Benjamin Foster, Edgar Knobloch
We consider the steady-state fingering instability of an elastic membrane separating two fluids of different density under external pressure in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell. Both inex…
Staircase solutions and stability in vertically confined salt-finger convection
Chang Liu, Keith Julien, Edgar Knobloch
Bifurcation analysis of confined salt-finger convection using single-mode equations obtained from a severely truncated Fourier expansion in the horizontal is performed. Strongly no…
Spontaneous suppression of inverse energy cascade in instability-driven 2D turbulence
Adrian van Kan, Benjamin Favier, Keith Julien +1
Instabilities of fluid flows often generate turbulence. Using extensive direct numerical simulations, we study two-dimensional turbulence driven by a wavenumber-localised instabili…
Robust wall states in rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Benjamin Favier, Edgar Knobloch
We show, using direct numerical simulations with experimentally realizable boundary conditions, that wall modes in Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a rapidly rotating cylinder persist…
Subcritical turbulent condensate in rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Benjamin Favier, Céline Guervilly, Edgar Knobloch
The possibility of subcritical behaviour in the geostrophic turbulence regime of rapidly rotating thermally driven convection is explored. In this regime a non-local inverse energy…
