Diffusion‐Free Scaling in Rotating Spherical Rayleigh‐Bénard Convection

Abstract Direct numerical simulations are employed to reveal three distinctly different flow regions in rotating spherical Rayleigh‐Bénard convection. In the high‐latitude region I vertical (parallel to the axis of rotation) convective columns are generated between the hot inner and the cold outer s...
