Effect of weak rotation on large-scale circulation cessations in turbulent convection.
We investigate the effect of weak rotation on the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection, using the theory for cessations in a low-dimensional stochastic model of the flow previously studied. We determine the cessation frequency of the LSC as a function of rotation, and calculate the statistics of the amplitude and azimuthal velocity fluctuations of the LSC as a f...
متن کاملRare fluctuations and large-scale circulation cessations in turbulent convection.
In turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection, a large-scale circulation (LSC) develops in a nearly vertical plane and is maintained by rising and falling plumes detaching from the unstable thermal boundary layers. Rare but large fluctuations in the LSC amplitude can lead to extinction of the LSC (a cessation event), followed by the reemergence of another LSC with a different (random) azimuthal orien...
متن کاملRotations and cessations of the large-scale circulation in turbulent RayleighBnard convection
We present a broad range of measurements of the angular orientation θ0(t) of the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection as a function of time. We used two cylindrical samples of different overall sizes, but each with its diameter nearly equal to its height. The fluid was water with a Prandtl number of 4.38. The time series θ0(t) consisted of meanderings similar to...
