Abstract
Thermal convection in a nonrotating spherical shell with central gravity is known to have symmetric solutions in terms of three-dimensional discrete rotation. All the solutions have reflection symmetry. We found a new type of symmetric steady convection with chirality. The pattern consists of six pairs of spiral rolls placed on 12 faces of a regular spherical dodecahedron. There are two configurations that are mirror images of one another.
