Jets and large-scale vortices in rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Large-scale features in rotating convection can take the form of either jets or coherent vortices. Numerical simulations of horizontally anisotropic planar rotating convection reveal the interaction between jets and vortices and show how these typically co-exist.
