Wall modes and the transition to bulk convection in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Xuan Zhang, Philipp Reiter, Olga Shishkina +1

We investigate states of rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell over a range of Rayleigh number $3\times 10^5\le Ra\le 5\times 10^9$ and Ekman number…
