Kinetic Energy Transport in Rayleigh--Bénard Convection
Klaus Petschel, Stephan Stellmach, Michael Wilczek +2
The kinetic energy balance in Rayleigh--Bénard convection is investigated for the Prandtl number range and for fixed Rayleigh number . The kin…
Approaching the Asymptotic Regime of Rapidly Rotating Convection: Boundary Layers vs Interior Dynamics
S. Stellmach, M. Lischper, K. Julien +5
Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection is studied by combining results from direct numerical simulations (DNS), laboratory experiments and asymptotic modeling. The asymptotic…
Double-diffusive mixing in stellar interiors in the presence of horizontal gradients
Michael Medrano, Pascale Garaud, Stephan Stellmach
We have identified an important source of mixing in stellar radiation zones, that would arise whenever two conditions are satisfied: (1) the presence of an inverse vertical composi…
The compressional beta effect: a source of zonal winds in planets?
Jan Verhoeven, Stephan Stellmach
Giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn feature strong zonal wind patterns on their surfaces. Although several different mechanisms that may drive these jets have been proposed over…
