Zonal flow reversals in two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Using long-time direct numerical simulations, we analyse the reversals of the large scale zonal flow in two-dimensional Rayleigh–B´enard convection with a rectangular geometry of aspect ratio Γ. We impose periodic and free-slip boundary conditions in the streamwise and spanwise directions, respectiv...
