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…
Reynolds number scaling and energy spectra in geostrophic convection
Matteo Madonia, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Herman J. H. Clercx +1
We report flow measurements in rotating Rayleigh--Bénard convection in the rotationally-constrained geostrophic regime. We apply stereoscopic particle image velocimetry to measure…
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…
