Scale-invariance and characteristic length scale for the large-scale vortices in geostrophic convective turbulence with friction

Guang-Yu Ding, Tian-Yi Pei, Hang-Yu Zhu +1

In geostrophic convective turbulence, large-scale vortices (LSVs) emerge through upscale energy transfer and are commonly regulated by large-scale friction. Yet the role of frictio…
