摘要:

Convection in a rotating spherical shell has wide application for understanding the dynamics of the atmospheres and interiors of many celestial bodies. In this paper we review linear results for convection in a shell of finite depth at substantial but not asymptotically large Taylor numbers, present nonlinear multimode calculations for similar conditions, and discuss the model and results in the context of the problem of solar convection and differential rotation. Detailed nonlinear calculations are presented for Taylor numberT= 105, Prandtl numberP= 1, and Rayleigh numberRbetween 1 |MX 104and 4 |MX 104(which is between about 4 and 16 times critical) for a shell of depth 20% of the outer radius. Sixteen longitudinal wave numbers are usually included (all even wave numbersmbetween 0 and 30) the amplitudes of which are computed on a staggered grid in the meridian plane.
