Enhanced vertical inhomogeneity in turbulent rotating convection.
In this Letter we report experimental evidence that rotation enhances vertical inhomogeneity in turbulent convection, in spite of the increased columnar flow ordering under rotation. Measurements using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry have been carried out on turbulent rotating convection in water. At constant Rayleigh number Ra=1.11 x 10(9) several rotation rates have been used, so that...
متن کاملVortex statistics in turbulent rotating convection.
The vortices emerging in rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in water at Rayleigh number Ra=6.0×10{8} are investigated using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry and by direct numerical simulation. The so-called Q criterion is used to detect the vortices from velocity fields. This criterion allows distinguishing vorticity- and strain-dominated regions in the flow by decomposing the...
متن کاملHeat-transport enhancement in rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
We present new Nusselt-number (Nu) measurements for slowly rotating turbulent thermal convection in cylindrical samples with aspect ratio Γ=1.00 and provide a comprehensive correlation of all available data for that Γ. In the experiment compressed gasses (nitrogen and sulfur hexafluride) as well as the fluorocarbon C_{6}F_{14} (3M Fluorinert FC72) and isopropanol were used as the convecting flu...
متن کاملMultiple transitions in rotating turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.
Sometimes it is thought that sharp transitions between potentially different turbulent states should be washed out by the prevailing intense fluctuations and short coherence lengths and times. Contrary to this expectation, we found a sequence of such transitions in turbulent rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection as the rotation rate was increased. This phenomenon was observed in cylindrical sampl...
