Boundary Zonal Flow in Rotating Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

Xuan Zhang, Dennis P. M. van Gils, Susanne Horn +7

For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh--Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell, experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that repla…

Azimuthal diffusion of the large-scale-circulation plane, and absence of significant non-Boussinesq effects, in turbulent convection near the ultimate-state transition

Xiaozhou He, Eberhard Bodenschatz, Guenter Ahlers

We present measurements of the orientation and temperature amplitude of the large-scale circulation in a cylindrical sample of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection (RBC)…

Logarithmic Spatial Variations and Universal Power Spectra of Temperature Fluctuations in Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

Xiaozhou He, Dennis P. M. van Gils, Eberhard Bodenschatz +1

We report measurements of the temperature variance and frequency power spectrum ( is the distance from the sample bottom and the radial coordinate) in…
