摘要:

直接数值模拟揭示了三个明显不同的流动区域在旋转球Rayleigh-Bénard对流。在低纬度地区$\mathrm{I}$,在热的内球和冷的外球之间产生垂直(平行于旋转轴)对流柱。中纬度地区$\mathrm{II}$主要是由垂直排列的对流柱之间形成的北半球和南半球的外球。无扩散尺度,这表明体积占主导地位的对流,起源于这个中纬度地区。在赤道区域$\mathrm{III}$中,涡流受到外部球形边界的影响,并且比区域$\mathrm{II}$中的涡流短得多。在球形瑞利-贝纳德对流中,具有背景旋转的热驱动湍流被发现具有三个明显不同的流动区域的特征。无扩散标度表明热传递是以体积为主的,它起源于中纬度地区,在该地区,垂直排列的涡旋在外球的南北半球之间伸展。这些结果表明,在旋转对流的流动物理性质是定性的不同,在平面和球形几何。这一发现强调了研究球形几何中的对流对于更好地理解地球物理和天体物理流动现象至关重要。

英文摘要:

Direct numerical simulations are employed to reveal three distinctly different flow regions in rotating spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection. In the low-latitude region $\mathrm{I}$ vertical (parallel to the axis of rotation) convective columns are generated between the hot inner and the cold outer sphere. The mid-latitude region $\mathrm{II}$ is dominated by vertically aligned convective columns formed between the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the outer sphere. The diffusion-free scaling, which indicates bulk-dominated convection, originates from this mid-latitude region. In the equator region $\mathrm{III}$ the vortices are affected by the outer spherical boundary and are much shorter than in region $\mathrm{II}$. Thermally driven turbulence with background rotation in spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection is found to be characterized by three distinctly different flow regions. The diffusion-free scaling, which indicates the heat transfer is bulk-dominated, originates from the mid-latitude region in which vertically aligned vortices are stretched between the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the outer sphere.\ These results show that the flow physics in rotating convection are qualitatively different in planar and spherical geometries. This finding underlines that it is crucial to study convection in spherical geometries to better understand geophysical and astrophysical flow phenomena.
