Asymmetric velocity boundary conditions lead to zonal flow in centrifugal convection

Jun Zhong, Chao Sun

We perform direct numerical simulations of rapidly rotating annular centrifugal convection to investigate how mixed (asymmetric) velocity boundary conditions and geometric curvatur…

Gravity drives the flow within the Stewartson layer in centrifugal convection

Rushi Lai, Jun Zhong, Chao Sun

We conduct three-dimensional numerical simulations on centrifugal convection (CC) in a closed annular container, incorporating gravity and no-slip top and bottom boundaries, to sys…

Effects of rough walls on sheared annular centrifugal Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Fan Xu, Jun Zhong, Jinghong Su +4

In this study, we investigate the coupling effects of roughness and wall shear in an annular centrifugal Rayleigh-Bénard convection (ACRBC) system, where two cylinders rotate with…
