Quasi-geostrophic Rayleigh-Bénard convection on the tilted -plane
Benjamin Miquel, Abram Ellison, Michael A. Calkins +2
Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection on a -plane at colatitude is investigated numerically using an asymptotically reduced equation set valid in the limit…
Bridging the Rossby number gap in rapidly rotating thermal convection
Adrian van Kan, Keith Julien, Benjamin Miquel +1
Geophysical and astrophysical fluid flows are typically driven by buoyancy and strongly constrained at large scales by planetary rotation. Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convect…
Spontaneous generation of helical flows by salt fingers
Adrian E. Fraser, Adrian van Kan, Edgar Knobloch +2
We study the dynamics of salt fingers in the regime of slow salinity diffusion (small inverse Lewis number) and strong stratification (large density ratio), focusing on regimes rel…
Rescaled Equations for Well-Conditioned Direct Numerical Simulations of Rapidly Rotating Convection
Keith Julien, Adrian van Kan, Benjamin Miquel +2
Convection is a ubiquitous process driving geophysical/astrophysical fluid flows, which are typically strongly constrained by planetary rotation on large scales. A celebrated model…
