A Experimental Study of Convection in a Rotating Layer.
Abstract
The results of an experimental study of convection in a thin horizontal layer of fluid rotating about a vertical axis are presented. Three Prandtl numbers were used and certain ranges of Taylor and Rayleigh numbers were covered. Emphasis was placed on the Kuppers-Lortz instability because of its relationship to fully developed turbulence.
