From Geostrophic to Magnetically-Damped Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Magnetoconvection
Tao Liu, Yufan Xu, Jewel A. Abbate +2
Understanding planetary core convection dynamics requires the study of convective flows in which the Coriolis and Lorentz forces attain a leading-order, so-called magnetostrophic b…

Diffusivity-Free Turbulence in Liquid Metal Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection Experiments
Jewel A. Abbate, Yufan Xu, Tobias Vogt +3
Convection in planets and stars is predicted to occur in the "ultimate regime'' of diffusivity-free, rapidly rotating turbulence, in which flows are characteristically unaffected b…

Thermovelocimetric Characterization of Liquid Metal Convection in a Rotating Slender Cylinder
Yufan Xu, Jewel Abbate, Cy David +2
Rotating turbulent convection occurs ubiquitously in natural convective systems encompassing planetary cores, oceans, and atmospheres, as well as in many industrial applications. W…
