The Effect of Rotation on Thermal Convection
Abstract
An investigation into the influence of rotation on thermal convection has some applicability in the study of the solar convection zone. Of particular interest is the effect of rotation on the total heat transport and the cell size for maximum heat transport at high Rayleigh number, which is estimated to be as high as 1020 for the Sun.
