Growth of helicity in salt-finger convection in the two-dimensional three-component limit
Smiron Varghese, Benjamin Miquel, Wouter Bos
We present an analytical investigation of the global helicity budget associated with the salt-fingering instability within the two-dimensional, three-component framework. Our analy…
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…
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…
