Oscillatory Convection in Rotating Spherical Shells: Low Prandtl Number and Non-Slip Boundary Conditions
A five-degree model, which reproduces faithfully the sequence of bifurcations and the type of solutions found through numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Boussinesq thermal convection equations in rotating spherical shells with fixed azimuthal symmetry, is derived. A low Prandtl number fluid of σ = 0.1 subject to radial gravity, filling a shell of radius ratio η = 0.35, differentiall...
متن کاملOn the onset of low-Prandtl-number convection in rotating spherical shells: non-slip boundary conditions
Accurate numerical computations of the onset of thermal convection in wide rotating spherical shells are presented. Low-Prandtl-number (σ ) fluids, and non-slip boundary conditions are considered. It is shown that at small Ekman numbers (E), and very low σ values, the well-known equatorially trapped patterns of convection are superseded by multicellular outer-equatorially-attached modes. As a r...
متن کاملThe Anisotropy of Low Prandtl Number Turbulent Convection
A model for homogeneous anisotropic incompressible turbulence is proposed. The model generalizes the GISS model of homogeneous isotropic turbulence; the generalization involves the solution of the GISS equations along a set of integration paths in wavenumber (k-) space. In order to make the problem tractable, these integration paths (“cascade lines”) must be chosen in such a way that the behavi...
متن کاملBifurcation of Infinite Prandtl Number Rotating Convection
We consider infinite Prandtl number convection with rotation which is the basic model in geophysical fluid dynamics. For the rotation free case, the rigorous analysis has been provided by Park [15, 16, 17] under various boundary conditions. By thoroughly investigating We prove in this paper that the solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution u = 0 to an attractor ΣR which consists of only on...
متن کاملA Note on the Prandtl Boundary Layers
Abstract. This note concerns a nonlinear ill-posedness of the Prandtl equation and an invalidity of asymptotic boundary-layer expansions of incompressible fluid flows near a solid boundary. Our analysis is built upon recent remarkable linear ill-posedness results established by Gérard-Varet and Dormy [2], and an analysis in Guo and Tice [5]. We show that the asymptotic boundary-layer expansion ...
