A comparison of laboratory measurements and numerical simulations of baroclinic wave flows in a rotating cylindrical annulus
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between laboratory measurements of rotating annulus flows and corresponding numerical model simulations is made, where two laboratory annuli, of similar dimensions but differing in instrumentation, are used.

Instabilities, transition and turbulence in the Czochralski crystal melt
J.R. Ristorcelli,J.L. Lumley +1 more
TL;DR: Several fluid mechanical instabilities associated with buoyancy, surface tension and rotational forces in the Czochralski melt convection are described in this article, which obviates the need of the axisymmetric assumptions and the extensive computing required to obtain the statistics of a three-dimensional flow.

Three-dimensional melt flows in Czochralski oxide growth: high-resolution, massively parallel, finite element computations
Qiang Xiao,Jeffrey J. Derby +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional, time-dependent features of melt flows which occur during the Czochralski growth of oxide crystals are analyzed using a theoretical bulk-flow model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental observation and numerical simulation of wave patterns in a Czochralski silicon melt
TL;DR: In this paper, three-dimensional time dependent simulations of the unsteady melt flow in the down-scaled Czochralski configuration were executed and qualitatively compared with the experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics and circulation regimes of terrestrial planets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore aspects of these analogues and demonstrate the importance of a number of key dimensionless parameters, most notably thermal Rossby and Rhines numbers and a measure of the dominant frictional or radiative timescale, in defining the type of circulation regime to be expected in a prototype planetary atmosphere subject to axisymmetric driving.

Sloping convection in a rotating fluid
Raymond Hide,P. J. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when the rotation rate exceeds a certain critical value ΩR (which depends on the acceleration of gravity, the shape and dimensions of the apparatus, the physical properties of the fluid and the distribution and intensity of the applied differential heating) Coriolis forces inhibit overturning motion in meridian planes and promote a completely different type of flow which has been termed "sloping convection" or "baroclinic waves".

An Experimental Study of Thermal Convection in a Rotating Liquid
TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of the hydrodynamical flow that ensues when a liquid which rotates uniformly at O about a vertical axis is subject to a horizontal temperature gradient is described.

Studies of Thermal Convection in a Rotating Cylinder with Some Implications for Large Scale Atmospheric Motions
TL;DR: The results of several years of research in atmospheric models are presented in this paper and a brief historical summary covers the important experimental work of early investigators in this field as well as the immediate background of the work at Chicago.

Thermal Convection in a Rotating Annulus of Liquid: Effect of Viscosity on the Transition Between Axisymmetric and Non-Axisymmetric Flow Regimes
Raymond Hide,W. W. Fowlis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a vertical rotating annulus of liquid is subject to a horizontal temperature gradient, provided that the coefficient of kinematical viscosity, ν¯, is not too great and the angular velocity of rotation,Ω is sufficiently high, four distinct regimes of hydrodynamical flow are possible, as shown in previous work by Hide.
