Laboratory Models of Planetary Core-Style Convective Turbulence

The connection between the heat transfer and characteristic flow velocities of planetary core-style convection remains poorly understood. To address this, we present novel laboratory models of rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection in which heat and momentum transfer are simultaneously measured. Using...
