Abstract
The temperature field of starting thermal plumes were measured in a rotating annulus with various rotation rates and buoyancies. The experiments revealed many details of the internal structure of these convective phenomena and also significant horizontal displacements from their source. Measurements show an increase in the maximum temperature observed in the thermal caps with increasing rotation and a more rapid cooling of the buoyancy source.
