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 کاملSpace-laboratory and numerical simulations of thermal convection in a rotating hemispherical shell with radial gravity
The Sun and the giant planets rotate and possess deep shells of convection. Some basic aspects of prototypical global convection have been studied with a laboratory model operated in the microgravity environment of Spacelab 3 that flew on the space shuttle Challenger in May 1985. This experiment studied thermally driven circulations within a rotating hemispherical shell of fluid across which ar...
متن کاملConvection Simulations
The abrupt transition from convective to radiative energy transport at the surface of many stars holds the key to much of the stars internal structure. Given suuciently detailed information about such properties as the equation of state and opacities, ab initio models of these layers may be constructed by solving the coupled, three-dimensional gas dynamics and radiative transfer equations. The ...
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 کاملThermosolutal Convection of Micropolar Rotating Fluids Saturating a Porous Medium
Double-diffusive convection in a micropolar fluid layer heated and soluted from below in the presence of uniform rotation saturating a porous medium is theoretically investigated. An exact solution is obtained for a flat fluid layer contained between two free boundaries. To study the onset of convection, a linear stability analysis theory and normal mode analysis method have been used. For the ...
