Thermomagnetic convection in a differentially heated rotating annulus with central force field

Thermal convection is induced in a rotating differentially heated annulus by using central magnetic force field. The principle of the system used to simulate large scale such as that found planetary interiors or atmospheres but laboratory scaled model investigated geophysical flow fields. Results suggest fluids can be study phenomena microgravity environment. To quantify thermal forcing, rotational forcing and stratification several non-dimensional parameters are introduced characterise evolving structures.
