...King et al. (2009) showed for rotating convection that the large value of β applies only when the rotational constraints on the flow are strong and the Ekman boundary layer is thinner than the thermal boundary layer....

...This result is also in agreement with DNS of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations performed at moderately low Rossby number Ro¼ 0.75 for which Ra¼O(E 2)>RaT and the result Nu Ra2/7 is also found (Julien et al. 1996)....

...The location of this transition in parameter space is a subject of current debate (e.g. King et al. 2009, Liu and Ecke 2009, Schmitz and Tilgner 2009, 2010)....

...Laboratory experiments and simulation data (King et al. 2009) allude to thermal and momentum boundary layers as the principal players in this result, despite the presence of a similar transition in the presence of stress-free boundary conditions where no viscous layers exist (Schmitz and Tilgner…...

...Recent theory of rotating convection with no-slip boundaries posited by (King et al. 2009) attributes changes in the heat transport to the crossing of the thermal and Ekman boundary layers....

...It has been posited that the crossover of the boundary layers is responsible for the transition to a heat transport scaling law identical to that observed non-rotating RBC where for no-slip boundaries Nu Ra2/7 (King et al. 2009)....
