We analyze the power spectra and structure functions (SFs) of the temperature and radial
velocity fields, calculated in the radial and azimuthal directions, in annular centrifugal …

Convection in stars and planets must be maintained against viscous and Ohmic dissipation.
Here, we present the first systematic investigation of viscous dissipation in simulations of …

We use being the thermal and chemical Rayleigh numbers. When the Reynolds number
exceeds a few tens, we report on a secondary instability which takes the form of large-scale …

Buoyancy induced convective boundary layer flow is investigated with a scale law analysis
in this study. Thermal forcing at the heated wall adopts the second-type boundary condition …

A three-dimensional finite-difference solver has been developed and implemented for
Boussinesq convection in a spherical shell. The solver transforms any complex curvilinear …

The geodynamo is maintained by turbulent rotating convection in Earth's liquid iron outer
core. Core dynamics are inaccessible to direct measurement and our understanding comes …

A wide range of fluid flows occur within astrophysical bodies such as stars and planets. In
particular, convective flows are dominant throughout a significant portion of the structure of …
