The sensitivity of rapidly rotating Rayleigh--Bénard convection to Ekman pumping

Meredith Plumley, Keith Julien, Philippe Marti +1

The dependence of the heat transfer, as measured by the nondimensional Nusselt number , on Ekman pumping for rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection in an infinite plane la…

The effects of Ekman pumping on quasi-geostrophic Rayleigh-Benard convection

Meredith Plumley, Keith Julien, Philippe Marti +1

Numerical simulations of 3D, rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Benard convection are performed using an asymptotic quasi-geostrophic model that incorporates the effects of no-slip boundari…

A nonlinear model for rotationally constrained convection with Ekman pumping

Keith Julien, Jonathan M. Aurnou, Michael A. Calkins +4

It is a well established result of linear theory that the influence of differing mechanical boundary conditions, i.e., stress-free or no-slip, on the primary instability in rotatin…

Dynamics of fingering convection I: Small-scale fluxes and large-scale instabilities

A. Traxler, S. Stellmach, P. Garaud +2

Double-diffusive instabilities are often invoked to explain enhanced transport in stably-stratified fluids. The most-studied natural manifestation of this process, fingering convec…
