Morphological Regimes of Rotating Moist Convection
Whitney T. Powers, Adrian E. Fraser, Evan H. Anders +2
Moist convection is a physical process where the latent heat released by condensation acts as a buoyancy source that can enhance or even trigger an overturning convective instabili…

3D Simulations Demonstrate Propagating Thermohaline Convection for Polluted White Dwarfs
Imogen G. Cresswell, Adrian E. Fraser, Evan B. Bauer +2
Polluted white dwarfs (WDs) with small surface convection zones deposit significant concentrations of heavy elements to the underlying radiative interior, presumably driving thermo…

Rapidly Rotating Wall-Mode Convection
Geoffrey M. Vasil, Keaton J. Burns, Daniel Lecoanet +3
In the rapidly rotating limit, we derive a balanced set of reduced equations governing the strongly nonlinear development of the convective wall-mode instability in the interior of…
