Robust wall modes and their interplay with bulk turbulence in confined rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Xander M. de Wit, Wouter J. M. Boot, Matteo Madonia +2
In confined rotating convection, a strong zonal flow can develop close to the side wall with a modal structure that precesses anti-cyclonically (counter to the applied rotation) al…
Bistability of the large-scale dynamics in quasi-two-dimensional turbulence
Xander M. de Wit, Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis
In many geophysical and astrophysical flows, suppression of fluctuations along one direction of the flow drives a quasi-2D upscale flux of kinetic energy, leading to the formation…
Discontinuous Transitions Towards Vortex Condensates in Buoyancy-Driven Rotating Turbulence
Xander M. de Wit, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Herman J. H. Clercx +1
Using direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection, we explore the transitions between turbulent states from a 3D flow state towards a quasi-2D condensate kn…
