Relationships among eddy fluxes of heat, eddy temperature variances and basic-state temperature parameters in thermally driven rotating fluids.

Abstract

We consider, first, changes of the time-averaged eddy heat flux and of the time and azimuthally averaged radial temperature gradient which take place when we conduct experiments at different imposed temperature differences with the rotation rate held fixed, or at different rotation rates with the imposed temperature difference held fixed. Evaluations are made also of the time variations of the eddy heat flux and of the azimuthally averaged radial temperature gradient at fixed points in dimensionless parameter space. -from Authors
