Studies in Rotating Convection
This thesis presents an exploration and analysis of novel phenomena in RayleighBénard convection in a rotating cylinder using direct numerical simulation and equivariant bifurcation analysis. The numerical method used is a second order predictorcorrector method using Chebyshev collocation in the radial and axial directions and a Fourier-Galerkin discretization in the azimuthal direction. This n...
متن کاملHeat Transport in Rotating Convection
We derive upper bounds for the Nusselt number in innnite Prandtl-number rotating convection. The bounds decay algebraically with Taylor number to the conductive heat transport value; the decay rate depends on boundary conditions. We show moreover that when the rotation is fast enough the purely conductive solution is the globally and nonlinearly attractive xed point; the critical rotation rate ...
متن کاملOnset of convection in a moderate aspect-ratio rotating cylinder: Eckhaus–Benjamin–Feir instability
A numerical study of the onset of thermal convection in a rotating circular cylinder of radius-to-depth ratio equal to four is considered in a regime dominated by the Coriolis force where the onset is to so-called wall modes. The wall modes consist of hot and cold pairs of thermal plumes rising and descending in the cylinder wall boundary layer, forming an essentially one-dimensional pattern ch...
متن کاملBifurcations of rotating waves in rotating spherical shell convection.
The dynamics and bifurcations of convective waves in rotating and buoyancy-driven spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection are investigated numerically. The solution branches that arise as rotating waves (RWs) are traced by means of path-following methods, by varying the Rayleigh number as a control parameter for different rotation rates. The dependence of the azimuthal drift frequency of the RWs o...
متن کاملA new instability for finite Prandtl number rotating convection with free-slip boundary conditions
Rolls in finite Prandtl number rotating convection with free-slip top and bottom boundary conditions are shown to be unstable with respect to small angle perturbations for any value of the rotation rate. This instability is driven by the horizontal mean flow whose estimation requires a special singular perturbation analysis. PACS numbers: 47.27.Te, 47.20.Bp, 47.32.-y, 47.20.-Lz
