Multiple zonal jets and convective heat transport barriers in a quasi-geostrophic model of planetary cores
Céline Guervilly, Philippe Cardin
We study rapidly-rotating Boussinesq convection driven by internal heating in a full sphere. We use a numerical model based on the quasi-geostrophic approximation for the velocity…

Subcritical thermal convection of liquid metals in a rapidly rotating sphere
E. J. Kaplan, N. Schaeffer, J. Vidal +1
Planetary cores consist of liquid metals (low Prandtl number ) that convect as the core cools. Here we study nonlinear convection in a rotating (low Ekman number ) planetar…
