Antisymmetric polar modes of thermal convection in rotating spherical fluid shells at high taylor numbers.
The onset of thermal convection in a rotating spherical shell of intermediate radius ratio eta=0.4 is studied numerically for Taylor numbers Ta > or = 10(11) and the Prandtl number of the liquid sodium (sigma=0.01). For the first time, it is shown that at very high Taylor numbers the first unstable mode can be antisymmetric with respect to the equator and confined inside a cylinder tangent to t...
متن کاملCritical torsional modes of convection in rotating fluid spheres at high Taylor numbers
A numerical study of the onset of convection in rotating, internally heated, selfgravitating fluid spheres is presented. The exploration of the stability of the conduction state versus the Taylor and the Prandtl numbers supplies a detailed idea of the laws that fulfil the four types of solutions obtained at low Prandtl numbers. The main result found is that axisymmetric (torsional) modes of con...
متن کاملConvection in Rotating Spherical Fluid Shells
Convection driven by thermal buoyancy in rotating spherical bodies of fluid has long been recognized as a fundamental process in the understanding of the properties of planets and stars. Since these objects are rotating in general and since their evolution is associated with the transport of heat from their interiors convection influenced by the Coriolis force does indeed play a dominant role i...
متن کاملA comparison of high-order time integrators for thermal convection in rotating spherical shells
A numerical study of several time integration methods for solving the threedimensional Boussinesq thermal convection equations in rotating spherical shells is presented. Implicit and semi-implicit time integration techniques based on backward differentiation and extrapolation formulae are considered. The use of Krylov techniques allows the implicit treatment of the Coriolis term with low storag...
