Direct numerical simulation of Nusselt number scaling in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection
We report results from Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection, regarding the scaling of heat transfer with the Rayleigh number for rotating systems at a fixed rate of rotation. The Prandtl number, Pr = 6.4, is kept constant. We perform simulations, using a spectral element method, for Rayleigh numbers Ra from 10 to 10, and Rossby numbers Ro from 0.09 to∞. We fi...
متن کاملRayleigh and Prandtl number scaling in the bulk of Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence
The Ra and Pr number scaling of the Nusselt number Nu, the Reynolds number Re, the temperature fluctuations, and the kinetic and thermal dissipation rates is studied for snumericald homogeneous Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence, i.e., Rayleigh–Bénard turbulence with periodic boundary conditions in all directions and a volume forcing of the temperature field by a mean gradient. This system serves as mo...
متن کاملScaling regimes in spherical shell rotating convection
Rayleigh-Bénard convection in rotating spherical shells can be considered as a simplified analogue of many astrophysical and geophysical fluid flows. Here, we use threedimensional direct numerical simulations to study this physical process. We construct a dataset of more than 200 numerical models that cover a broad parameter range with Ekman numbers spanning 3 × 10−7 ≤ E ≤ 10−1, Rayleigh number...
متن کاملTurbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection for a Prandtl number of 0.67
For the Rayleigh-number range 10 Ra 10 we report measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of properties of the large-scale circulation (LSC) for cylindrical samples of helium gas (Prandtl number Pr=0.674) that have aspect ratio Γ ≡D/L=0.50 (D and L are the diameter and the height respectively) and are heated from below. The results for Nu are consistent with recent direct numerical simulations...
متن کاملUniform Number of a Graph
We introduce the notion of uniform number of a graph. The uniform number of a connected graph $G$ is the least cardinality of a nonempty subset $M$ of the vertex set of $G$ for which the function $f_M: M^crightarrow mathcal{P}(X) - {emptyset}$ defined as $f_M(x) = {D(x, y): y in M}$ is a constant function, where $D(x, y)$ is the detour distance between $x$ and $y$ in $G$ and $mathcal{P}(X)$ ...
