Large-scale numerical simulations: Convection in an annular channel rotating about a vertical axis with side-walls
Abstract
For the purpose of understanding the dynamics of planetary atmospheres, we use the annular convection model to simulate the dynamics of atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. The model (annular channel) rotates about a vertical axis with side-walls, and it is heated from below.
