Rotation with thermally induced buoyancy governs many astrophysical and geophysical
processes in the atmosphere, ocean, sun, and Earth's liquid-metal outer core. Rotating …

The Sun is our nearest star; it is also the most important star that determines life on Earth. A
large variety of phenomena observed on the Sun's surface, with potential impact on Earth, is …

In this paper, we investigate and develop scaling laws as a function of external
nondimensional control parameters for heat and momentum transport for nonrotating, slowly …

A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath
their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water makes these ocean worlds …

Ocean worlds are prevalent in the solar system. Focusing on Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and
Ganymede, I use rotating convection theory and numerical simulations to predict ocean …

We numerically explore convection and general circulation of an ocean, encased in a
spherical shell of uniform thickness, heated from below by a spatially uniform heat flux, and …

For rapidly rotating turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a slender cylindrical cell,
experiments and direct numerical simulations reveal a boundary zonal flow (BZF) that …

Rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection is a simple model system used to study the interplay
of buoyant forcing and rotation. Many recent studies have focused on the geostrophic …

Convection occurs ubiquitously on and in rotating geophysical and astrophysical bodies.
Prior spherical shell studies have shown that the convection dynamics in polar regions can …

The heat transfer scaling theories for Rayleigh‐Bénard convection (RBC) are reviewed and
discussed for configurations with and without rotation and magnetic fields. Scaling laws are …
