Physical Mechanism behind the Early Onset of the Ultimate State in Supergravitational Centrifugal Thermal Convection
Lei Ren, Jun Zhong, Rushi Lai +1
We present a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the transition from the classical to the ultimate regime of thermal turbulence in a supergravitational centrifugal…
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…
