Tornado-Like Vortices in the Quasi-Cyclostrophic Regime of Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection
Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
Coriolis-centrifugal convection (C) in a cylindrical domain constitutes an idealised model of tornadic storms, where the rotating cylinder represents the mesocyclone of a super…
Oscillatory thermal-inertial flows in liquid metal rotating convection
Tobias Vogt, Susanne Horn, Jonathan M. Aurnou
We present the first detailed thermal and velocity field characterization of convection in a rotating cylindrical tank of liquid gallium, which has thermophysical properties simila…
Connections between Non-Rotating, Slowly Rotating, and Rapidly Rotating Turbulent Convection Transport Scalings
Jonathan M. Aurnou, Susanne Horn, Keith Julien
Buoyancy-driven convection is likely the dominant driver of turbulent motions in the universe, and thus, is widely studied by physicists, engineers, geophysicists and astrophysicis…
Jump Rope Vortex in Liquid Metal Convection
Tobias Vogt, Susanne Horn, Alexander M. Grannan +1
Understanding large scale circulations (LSCs) in turbulent convective systems is important for the study of stars, planets and in many industrial applications. The canonical model…
Experimental study of internal wave generation by convection in water
Michael Le Bars, Daniel Lecoanet, Stéphane Perrard +4
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of water cooled from below at 0^oC and heated from above. Taking advantage of the unusual property that water's density maximum is at abo…
