The cross-over from viscous to inertial lengthscales in rapidly-rotating convection
Céline Guervilly, Emmanuel Dormy
Convection is the main heat transport mechanism in the Earth's liquid core and is thought to power the dynamo that generates the geomagnetic field. Core convection is strongly cons…
B{é}nard convection in a slowly rotating penny shaped cylinder subject to constant heat flux boundary conditions
A M Soward, L Oruba, E Dormy
We consider axisymmetric Boussinesq convection in a shallow cylinder radius, L, and depth, H (<< L), which rotates with angular velocity about its axis of symmetry aligned to t…
Flow induced by the rotation of two circular cylinders in a viscous fluid
E. Dormy, H. K. Moffatt
The low-Reynolds-number Stokes flow driven by rotation of two parallel cylinders of equal unit radius is investigated by both analytical and numerical techniques. In Part I, the ca…
The inertial wave activity during spin-down in a rapidly penny shaped cylinder. Part II The inertial wave of maximum frequency trigger
L. Oruba, A. M. Soward, E. Dormy
In an earlier paper, Oruba, Soward & Dormy (J.Fluid Mech., vol.818, 2017, pp.205-240) considered the primary quasi-steady geostrophic (QG) motion of a constant density fluid of vis…
The inertial wave activity during spin-down in a rapidly rotating penny shaped cylinder. Part I The quasi-geostrophic trigger
L. Oruba, A. M. Soward, E. Dormy
In a previous paper, Oruba, Soward & Dormy (J.Fluid Mech., vol.818, 2017, pp.205-240) considered the primary quasi-steady geostrophic (QG) motion of a constant density fluid of vis…
Formation of eyes in large-scale cyclonic vortices
Ludivine Oruba, Peter Davidson, Emmanuel Dormy
We present numerical simulations of steady, laminar, axisymmetric convection of a Boussinesq fluid in a shallow, rotating, cylindrical domain. The flow is driven by an imposed vert…
