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 o…

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…

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 convecti…

Fixed-flux Rayleigh-Bénard convection in doubly periodic domains: generation of large-scale shear

Chang Liu, Manjul Sharma, Keith Julien +1

This work studies two-dimensional fixed-flux Rayleigh-Bénard convection with periodic boundary conditions in both horizontal and vertical directions and analyzes its dynamics using…

Low-Frequency Internal Gravity Waves are Pseudo-incompressible

Bradley W. Hindman, Keith Julien

Starting from the fully compressible fluid equations in a plane-parallel atmosphere, we demonstrate that linear internal gravity waves are naturally pseudo-incompressible in the li…

From a vortex gas to a vortex crystal in instability-driven two-dimensional turbulence

A. van Kan, B. Favier, K. Julien +1

We study structure formation in two-dimensional turbulence driven by an external force, interpolating between linear instability forcing and random stirring, subject to nonlinear d…
