Abstract
For given aspect ratio and given geometry, the nature of Rayleigh Benard convection (RBC) is determined by the Rayleigh : formula, and by the Prandtl number :formula. Here, is the thermal expansion coefficient, 9 the gravitational acceleration, formula the difference between the imposed temperatures nand Tt at the bottom and the top of the sample,
respectively, and v and ki, the kinematic viscosity and the thermal diffusivity, respectively. The rotation rate D (given in rad/s) is used in the form of the Rossby number : formula
