Abstract

Simulations of rapidly rotating turbulent convection in a cylinder reveal a strong sidewall circulation that contributes significantly to the overall convective heat transfer. However, a separation of the heat transfer into sidewall boundary layer and interior contributions is feasible; simulations and experiments in a cylinder are used to mimic laterally unbounded convective flows in nature.
